[QUOTE="thill, post: 373956, member: 4972"] Jasper, Thanks for that. Mine used to be about an inch lower than yours. I raised the engine to the highest holes without re-drilling, and the cav plate is now flush with the bottom. I put the trim tab straight, from the hard right that it had before. I also pulled the big battery out of the front of the boat, and put it in the transom. I took the boat out yesterday afternoon with two other people. With me (195 lbs) and Dewey (240 lbs) in the back, and Brandon (160 lbs) sitting near the middle, the boat jumped up on plane the same, and no leaning anymore- Cool! It definitely ran better. I was able to run 25 pretty nicely. But if I opened her up further, she would do that scary bow-steer thing, and I would have to slow down. Still somewhat strange behavior, but getting closer... -TH [/QUOTE]
