[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 334200, member: 12995"] I took the boat out for a test run today to see how it rides. It definitely needs weight moved to the front, it was porpoising bad at barely 1/2 throttle. The 40 hp Evinrude runs good but I couldn't push it much to see what it could do. I was out in shorts and the water is cold (maybe mid 40's) and the air was 53 so it was a chilling ride. The battery and full gas tank are in the back so I will need to move one of them forward to balance it out. I usually go out by myself so I can't count on someone else to balance it out. The console actually felt pretty good for me being 5' 6" but another inch or 2 would help. It should probably be perfect for you at 5' 4". I'm going to try and find a grab rail to mount on the console and possibly a windshield. [/QUOTE]
