I like the Boat a lot (may be a little over powered).
With a 150 HP Yamaha 4 stroke and a 8 HP Yamaha 4 stroke kicker I'm wondering if it has a little to much weight back there, but not much can be done with that.
Have tried moving starting battery to front but even with 6 ga. wire didn't work.
Everything about the rig is fine with one exception I'm looking for opinions on.
When taking off (or slowing down speeds) the bow is uncomfortably high to the point it is a difficult to see ahead, and can be bothersome in rough water. Is perfectly fine underway and "trolling speeds".
Has an SS prop 19 11 (actually looks like 19 M).
Straight line from bottom of cavitation plate to bottom of the of hull measures about 1/4" - 3/8" higher than bottom of V of the hull which appears to be about right.
Motor is now mounted in second hole from the top of mounting plate (3/4" distance between holes with two more down down.
Any thoughts on raising the motor or even different prop?
Any advice is appreciated.
The Rad Dog guy.
