[QUOTE="richg99, post: 420969, member: 4376"] You've already received some good advice above. Before doing anything else, I'd put a 5-gallon bucket of water up near the bow and see if that helps. If it does, weight distribution will help. Move the battery or some other heavy stuff up front. If weight distribution isn't the answer, then, I'd try dropping your engine (as recommended above) so that the anti-cav. plate is even with the bottom of the hull. If that doesn't do it, an inexpensive hydrofoil may help. But, as pointed out above, you will lose some top end speed. For $120 to $150 or so, you could put on Smart Tabs. You will plane quicker and not lose speed. If that motor is running properly, one of the above may help. richg99 [/QUOTE]
