    I see what u are talking about. I like that 200 on the back your boat. Trim tabs is another option but thats a band aid not a fix. Something needs to be changed and TRACKER/ NITRO needs to step up.

    Can u move kicker to the port side, as well as batteries? My boat has both trolling motor batteries on port side. I don't think that is 375 pounds but is a start in the right direction. Possibly any heavy equipment as well.

    I forgot to mention it has a Stingway whale tail on it. Boat jumps out of the hole no bow raise back just comes up and goes. I do like that but am thinkinking will lose that with a higer pitch prop.
