[QUOTE="richg99, post: 442161, member: 4376"] Welcome aboard. Sounds like you've got a great project. Nothing in your comments led me to believe that your boat has any excessive salt water wear and tear. Stern heavy.....that is probably the most common complaint or question on this site. In fact, I am wondering if I, personally, will have that issue when I put my newest addition to my fleet into the water in three weeks or so. If ALL of the moveable weight is in the stern, then moving some of it forward seems called for. Five-gallon buckets, full of water, weigh about 42 lbs each. I'd put one or two forward and just see what happens. Strap them down tightly, though. Obviously, that test is ADDING weight, but if you do move the gasoline tanks forward, the results should then be better. You've got your answer on the drain hole. What else can we help with at this time? richg99 [/QUOTE]
