I also still have some undesireable cavitation in certain condition. It is not terrible, but I would like to make it better. I would also like to help with holeshot some. I really do appreciate having the 4 stroke engine though. It is so quiet and smooth. I can toss my anchor over and pop her in reverse and just wait til the anchor locks in. Then I leave it in reverse and throw out the back anchor. Snug up the lines and cut the motor off. Works like a charm!!That being said, I did notice that the bottom of my boat, just before the tunnel, has about a 1/4" deep hook. The hook is 2' long and looks like I need to hammer it out from inside the boat. My guess is because of the weight setting on the roller trailer. In order to do that I need to pull the floor, and possible cut the rear box out (which I dont like anyways.)Do you think the hook could be adding to the cavitation?I am hoping to bring the passenger up front with me to help with weight distribution. When I am the only one on this boat it rides LIKE A DREAM!! Add another @$$, and not so much. My fear is that if I bring the tail end up more, I will cavitate more in the chop. Ulgghhhh.</blockquote>
