I have a 16ft Clackacraft driftboat, and both the rowing seat and front bench have two different positions such that I can move both benches toward the bow or stern approximately 4 inches. Are these to be used for trimming the boat to get it balanced better, or are they just for giving you more legroom?

I'm trying to figure out how to properly trim this boat. If I have two people in front, do I want both benches back as far as possible? I'm thinking that if they were in the forward position, that the bow of the boat would draft more, and thus create more drag. Your thoughts?
