[QUOTE="Jonboat Jerry, post: 283403, member: 6334"] Hi Casey, Welcome to Tin Boats. Weight is not our friend especially when it comes to aluminum boats. For trimming out your rig, the cooler up front idea fits, since you can add water until it trims right and empty it as you add gear as time goes on. I just looked up the tracker 1436 and it is rated for 15HP max. so that 5HP Briggs is a little enemic for expecting it to plane. On the other hand, I'll bet that thing will run all day on a gallon of gas :) Jerry [/QUOTE]
