Default Lead under the bow

I can say that I have finally solved an old problem I had on my Starfire

I installed with a simple but efficient assembly lead that you can see in the attached pics

Gio,
Have you tried 4 blade props?
Will you be in Viareggio for the big show?

Has he found a new boat yet?

Wow! 300lbs?! That seems like a lot of weight to me, how far forward is it. I hope that wood base is fiberglassed in well to hold that weight.
