Has anybody out there ever tried filling the live wells to improve the ride in rough water. I have a 175 stinger with two wells. Here in North Carolina the season doesn't end and the stripers and choppy water is coming.
Have ran through a couple of storms this summer and the ride was managable but rough.
Each well holds 23 gal. so a total of 46 gal is a lot of weight. Wonder wether to fill the bow or stern or both or to partial fill both. Any comments welcomed as there is a lot of of different possiblilties.
On another note about the build quality of Lowe boats.
We were coming in after dark Tuesday night and ran over an unknown size log-wood at full plane.
From what we felt in the boat it must have looked like a jet ski commerical from outside the boat.
Anyway pulled the boat Saturday night for weekly cleaning and not a mark on the bottom. Only knocked the depth finder transducer and speedo sensor out of alignment.
