Location: Elk River, Minnesota | Hi Mike,
That sounds about right. The only part you will bend is the most rearward portion behind the row of rivets. I'd go 1/8", then test... If it is still not enough, go a touch more....but you should see a difference overall. If you go too far, you'll know as well, because the boat will not trim up very well.
It sounds horrible to do, but it definitely will work with things. With rear heavy boats such as what you are describing, you are essentially giving the boat a little more rear lift with the wedge.
