[QUOTE="richg99, post: 418156, member: 4376"] With a 5 hp. motor, you'd best first check to see what adding the extra weight will do. You don't want to go the the time and expense of adding a bunch of "stuff" and find out it will not plane. (Please, don't ask me know I know this) Put some water in five gallon buckets until the weight (42 lbs per bucket) reaches what you estimate the add-ons will weigh. Tie the buckets down well, and cap them. Put them where the add-ons are expected to go. The take her out and try to plane, and see what happens. richg99 [/QUOTE]
