[QUOTE="richg99, post: 214890, member: 4376"] You might try one or two five gallon buckets of water...with lids on, of course...tied down near the bow. Be sure they are tied in securely. You don't want them moving around when you are trying to get up on plane. If the bow comes down....then moving the weight forward will help even more. ( i.e. you lose weight in the stern and gain it in the bow). Water weighs nearly 8 lbs per gallon. One battery weighs near 55 lbs. Smart Tabs would help a lot on getting her up on plane, if you have sufficient hp. One guy on this group built his own version of them. I am not a fan of "dole fins" or other add-ons that can slow a boat down, but some people swear by them. Better than nothing, I believe. regards, Rich [/QUOTE]
