Mark sounds like the weight actually impoved your ride.

Re: Permanent Fuel Tank - Test Drive Update

Yeah, it did make a big positive change in the handling. I attribute the reduced speeds at different loads to more drag from more hull in the water. Its strictly manual tilt/trim so I'm not sure what I'm going to do. If I could get my hands on a manual gas pressure cylinder cheap, I would play around with changing the valving and drive it off a remote hydraulic 12v pump. <br /><br />At any rate, I should be able to get the speed back by tuning the trim again.<br /><br />I can't tell you how happy I am that there were no problems out there on the water.
