[QUOTE="poorthang, post: 488646, member: 31585"] are you saying to weight the bow until the transom is like you want, then use the amount of weight used to determine the amount of flotation needed? wouldnt that be dependant of the fulcrum point? maybe if a 150lb man standing on the bow would lift the transom 4 inches, then you could figure you need 150 lbs flotation? including more flotation to cover the tare of the pods and hardware of course. ? or if not installing pods, and using same logic, then removing 150lbs from the rear of the boat would accomplish same? or taking 75lbs from rear and moving to front would be same? sounds like how they do it in airplanes.
