Bought a new 18' Deluxe Jon since I do a lot of river fishing. Boat is 1860 Jon with rod boxes, live well etc. In the stern I have 9 gal fuel tank, one battery and Power Pole on Transom. Dual batteries have been move forward. No addtional weight distribution is feasible. Boat is powered by 50 HP Merc Tiller.
Boat porposes at 21 mph when I am alone and at 23 mph with one passenger I installed a no drill whale tail device which corrected problem but I can't stand it and don't want to be fighting it with trolling motor in current or weeds. Haven't talked to dealer yet but here is my initial plan.
Remove whale tail
Install manual jack plate to get 4 inch set back and raise motor on transom. Add negative transom wedges to get more angle on transom
Thoughts??
Thanks
