[QUOTE="Popeye, post: 26073, member: 148"] Oh, some of those guys that have more money than common sense (or deep pocket sponsors) buy those $45,000.00 bass boats with the 300hp motors put on big 'ol 10" jack plates and complain the boat sits low in the back end. One of the "fix-alls" is a basketball shoved in the jack plate opening. Supposedly the buoyancy of the basketball compensates for the motor being set back that far. Personally I think it might help some... however the entire basketball would have to be under the water line AND I don't think just one basketball has enough buoyancy to do the job. [/QUOTE]
