I always balance trailer tires, they are notorious for not being the best and usually take a fair amount of weight. Starting a few years ago my local Discount Tire started requiring it to maintain...

I thought the 250XS came with a sporty lower but couldn’t find it in a quick search, my bad.

I believe your 280 Powerquest Silencer has a ventilated hull. Typically you don't carry the bow on a step bottom boat like you may be used to in a traditional deep V. In fact, if you run too much...

It should but I hope you are also taking the time to true up the bottom. It would be such a waste to spend all that time and money and leave performance on the trailer.

All I can say is wrong prop (22% slip), the motor isn't making 650 hp (a 250 is WAY too small a blower for that motor), your bottom probably has a lot of hook in it and if it's an older boat, your X...
