Need some help.

[promtg]

I just purchased a 1997 Sun Tracker Party Deck. I love the boat except for 1thing. When I get the boat on plane, I get a lot of splash from the front sides of the boat into the boat. This is making for a very wet ride unless I go very slow. It seems as if the boat's nose sits to low in the water creating this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try to trim it in or down some to see if you can get the bow up a little.

You might have too much weight in the front, and you need to trim your motor out or up too raise the front of the boat

Is this your first boat?

Welcome to Iboats by the way!

This is not my first boat. I used to have a 17 foot fish and ski. I dont think I have a weight issue on the front because it was just me and the wife with both of us at the back of the boat. Trimming up did help some, but still was an issue with water splashing in the boat.

Is it level at rest? What engine? Is it a wet ride even in calm water? Let's see some pics!
