[QUOTE="Bmac, post: 371043, member: 7626"] When I mounted the Honda on it I hung it on an extra JP I had laying around. This was before I ever splashed it,so no idea if it'd make any difference but they have helped on every other boat I've owned. What I learned was it probably made it worse by moving weight back. I couldn't achieve much positive trim without it porposing. One trip I had a 180 lb buddy sit on the front deck while underway. She smoothed out and laid down,could apply a lot more trim,and gained 3 mph top end. Hoping to gain 2"-3" of freeboard at the rear by shedding 250+ lbs.,and moving weight forward. Have a wide open layout,drift higher and straighter,and gain some speed while I'm at it. [/QUOTE]
