[QUOTE="mcdowellkm, post: 353968, member: 14328"] Thanks for the advice guys. I have to travel out of town next week but hopefully will be able to raise motor and retest this friday before i leave. Come to think of it i do notice alot of splash up from the cav plate while on plane. The boat is rated for up to a 115HP motor, and i'm not sure what the capacity is on the vessel itself as it has no coast guard tag on it with being a commercial deamed vessel (also why it has no flotation foam). I called the dealer who sold the rig new to the guy i bought it off of and bounced this problem onto him. He suggested putting floatation pods on the boat. Says i have way to much stern weight. He also is trying to get me to upgrade the outboard to a 90hp but i just dont have the funds for that right now. He claims that if i throw the pods on it will counteract all the battery weight and the weight of the heavy 4-stroke, not to mention the guys i normally hunt and fish with are equal size to me ~250lbs. I will update as soon as i raise the motor. [/QUOTE]
