Floor couldn't take any more. Pumped the keel util it was difficult to put more in an was hard. Gave each tube 6 more strokes and they were hard. Went out solo, whole routine changed. Had to play with trim again. I had mount the fuel tank clear in back because it was in the way every where else so that made me a litte heavier in back. Will say ther is no flexing of the floor that I could tell. Planned fast and smooth. Would stay on plane at 12 mph, which is pretty good. Best speed I got was 26 mph in the best conditions. Will say it's the best it can be for what it is. Might take the stingray off just to see if I can get that extra mph but cruising at 15-20 is ideal and most comfortable. My biggest ***** about these boats is every thing changes with a little weight transfer or change. The 35 lb dog makes a difference in performance. You would have to write a detailed log book of every Change and make adjustments as you go. Well, it is what it is and still fun to go boating.

It does and it doesn't. You find the set up that works best all around and use that as a starting point for every day on the water and only make real changes when you have a major change not for the little things like where the dog is sitting. If you HAVE to make changes for little things like that something else is still likely amiss. I almost never touch trim settings and only move people to make space and the boat speed rarely changes by more than 2-4 mph tops with extra person sitting in differernt positions.

If I want my max performance riding solo or riding two up I have to change trim one knotch. If I want to just cruise 15-29 mph no trim setting is needed. Pushing a button to change trim at speed would be nice for max performance but iwill just make do as is. New at this boating thing. Riding my Polaris RZR I went through the same thing, tires-suspension, learned to make do with a happy medium. At least I got this air pressure thing taken care of thanks to you guys!
