[QUOTE="Jonboat Jerry, post: 394140, member: 6334"] As you have found, weight is not your friend, especially in a 1648 JB. Any weight you add just decreases performance. Use what you have to get the weight forward. Relocate the battery, anchor and fuel tank (get a bigger one) to the front. If you feel like must have more weight on the nose, get a 5 gal container and gradually fill it with water, testing the results to find how much is needed, then get a fuel tank that equals the weight when full. Hope this helps. Jerry [/QUOTE]
