Thanks

Just think about it .
Trim makes a lot of difference, it controls the attitude of the boat as it enters the air. Gravity and inertia take over from there.

I'm somewhere in the middle on your thinking.... Adding 150 to the stern of an Apache that weighs between 10K and 13K lbs isn't going to make much of a difference. What will make a noticable difference is adding that 150 lbs to the bow. IE the forward bow tank or as in pleasure version Apaches with cabin liners.... They don't run well with the forward tank full in calm water but they do run well with it full in rough water.

As far as dialing-in, my buddy spent a boat-load of money having the CG of his 36' Skater race boat dialed in so the boat could run its fastest with neutral trim in varying water conditions (balanced)... Funny thing....they just happened to have won the world championship that year.

There are a lot of Apaches out there that would benefit from some CG work.

How about some pics-of-pics?

Some pics I ordered, came in yesterday....Just an average day in Jersey... sorry for the quality, it's my cell phone picture of a picture...

It was over a month ago coming home in 2-3's with a 20 mph head-wind, we were cruising at 60 mph...

the girls (my wife and her cousin) had some pretty knotty hair that evening!!
