[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 497445, member: 12995"] I had to add the transom wedges on my Lowe 1652 VT but I have a mod-v tunnel jet hull and it would porpoise without the wedges and being tucked all the way in. If I trim it out a little when I'm by myself, I will get a lot more spray. When I have people in the boat with the weight up front, I do need to trim it out a little to keep the bow up. It could be your flat bottom that makes it feel loose. Here's a picture of my boat with the wedges and the motor trimmed in all the way. The front of the foot is just below the tunnel. If the front of your foot is just above the bottom of the boat, you might be 1 hole too high. I tried it 1 hole higher and got a lot of spray back so I went back down.
