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.
