What you describe for shifting gears is reckless and a good way to burn up a water pump.  You'll find yourself going into and out of gear more often than you think and or needing reverse at times to slow or stop momentum.  Swap the tiller to a stick steer or add a small forward console if adding ballast isn't an option . If your that worried that adding 50lbs of ballast all the way up front will sink the boat then its already got too much weight in it</p></blockquote><p></p>
