[QUOTE="HUSKERBOATER, post: 143138, member: 3110"] Thanks for the advice everyone.=D> I have a 3 gallon and a 6 gallon tank- will use the 3 though to reduce weight. I will have to try out the tilt pin setting all of the way forward this weekend. Also I have decided to mount the battery and gas tank near the front as well. And yes I now realize that I should have gotten a 14', but being the first boat I have ever owned I didn't know what to expect. This site is awesome, I couldn't get this much advice anywhere else. I am putting Rustoleum on the trailer tomorrow and If I am really ambitious I will think about getting a longer fuel line and battery cables. I had another idea, what about bolting some wood all of the way to the bottom on the transom to get some added buoyancy? I think the easiest fix would be to get on the track and lose some weight, but being 6'4 I will always be too darn big for this boat. As far as size of the motor, it is only about 50 lbs and is definitely not too much motor for the boat. [/QUOTE]
