My boat is apx. 5ft across on bottom, but as you were saying the weight thing is proably the cause. I've moved my kicker towards the center alittle more and also changed from a long shaft to a short shaft? Not know it shaft length will make a difference or not. But as for my fuel tanks, one goes all the way along the rear and the other (6 gal) sits on the oppisite side of my kicker. I'm thinking that there's just to much weight in the rear of the boat causing the nose to ride alittle heigh.I try to keep the guy up front but you know how that goes. maybe I needed to more the fuel tank up front? Might be difficult? That's for the info guy's!
