[QUOTE="Sieben, post: 506279, member: 33474"] It performed better with a slow roll on the throttle. Hammering the throttle sent the nose up. My two buddies with the same configuration and size. One has a 11" with a 25 4 stroke with 25 lb of sand in the bow locker 6 gallon fuel tank up forward and a whale tail. It is like an instant rocket to planing. My second buddy has an 11' with a 25 hp 4 stroke 3 gallon fuel tank up front with a whale tail and his goes like a rocket also. No sand on his. First I'll fill the fuel tank to 6.5 gallons. It had 3 in it. The seat can go forward 2" which will also move the battery 2" forward which is in the port stern corner. The battery is strapped to the fiberglass seat currently. I have a bit more testing to do before I add the whale tail. I could also add the 20 lbs of sand up in the bow locker. The 4 stroke is much heavier than my old 15 hp 15 hp 2 stroke by 65 lbs. About 125 lbs just the motor, battery 45, console 40, seat 30, boat 120, fuel 20. So, about 380 lbs total. The 20 hp should be plenty. Thank you for replying. John [/QUOTE]
