[QUOTE="BoatDawg4120, post: 302298, member: 9832"] Actually the planing issue I am having is directly related to not having enough weight in the front of the boat. with myself and a passenger it will do 12mph but the passenger has to quite literally sit on the plate on the top rail on the bow and almost lean forward past the edge of the front of the boat to get it to plane. Thats with the fuel tank and gear in the bow also. That is why I am leaning more towards a heavier bow deck . by myself i have to sit on the middle bench and lean forward with a tiller extension (piece of PVC pipe) to get it planed and it will do 14mph. So my problem is clearly not enough weight on the bow. I have changed tilt angles on the motor to no avail. [/QUOTE]
