[QUOTE="57sailplane, post: 476671, member: 17773"] so no trim, this is what i would do. if you are going to be using the boat with a buddy most of the time i would ask someone to go along. i would fill the 2 tanks. hook one to the motor. then i would pick a calm day and take the boat out full speed have your buddy move from the back to the front in slow steps with the extra tank setting it down now and then noting the speed of the boat. make sure you go the same direction with or against the wind if there is any. it may make a big differance in top speed and it may not. but at least if it dose make a difference in top speed you will know were the weight should go.
