[QUOTE="fatherfire89, post: 244164, member: 4679"] As far as riding nose up, definitely check for water buildup in the flotation pods. I know some foams do absorb water--something about closed cell foam vs open cell foam or something like that. I have a 1448 with a 50/35 and a 12 gallon tank up front. The battery is under the center console just behind the middle bench. I think it's only moving at about 90% of full speed with that much weight up front but it does stay very level on the water; floating or running full speed. As far as water splashing goes, see the document below from outboardjets.com. I used this method for a 1/32" splash guard and don't have any splash up problems at all. But I can't say the no splashing is strictly due to the addition of that splash guard. Feel free to ask questions... haha we love this stuff. [/QUOTE]
