In rough water this weekend on Lake Ontario I could not keep the bow down with the tabs and keep speed up. As the boat came out of the water it did not fly as level as i would like it to. Has anybody added some bow wt or a ballast system, I know that the 28 pantera has 6 lead plates up front and ocean race boats add wt at times. My fountain has two empty compartments up front under the mattress. I could add a few lbs there to offset the stern?

Thanks Rob for the prop tip. My 1st goal is to keep the rubrail above the water line. I re-enforced my A frame today with 2x4x12 bolted to the 2x6 legs. The hoist is alot more stable.

When you have the motors out look real close around you exhaust holes, make sure they don't look like this,,,,,,,,,

Looking better by the day Glen! You got a lot going on, i will give you advise on one thing I missed when rigging mine. In your pics you have sea strainers . I see a hose going direct from the pickups to the strainers with no shut off at the strainer. I would recommend installing a pair. This will illiminate having a wet bilge from cleaning the strainers while on the water. Its not a tone of water that comes out once you pop the cap, just enough to be nuisance.

I relocated the batteries forward. A lot easier that expected. I removed the other bravo transom. I cleaned the bilge, painted the cut outs for the drives and exhaust. I also removed the sand bags from up front.
