Don't worry about it; it makes the boat ride better. My 82 Sceptre was a little bow heavy as well. We moved the gas tank back and this helped as long as it was full of gas. I installed the bracket on mine with the minimal flotation and it didn't really make a difference the way it sat at rest. On the other hand, my Seavette is light in the bow and it doesn't even come close to riding as well as my Sceptre did and they are the same identical hull. The Potter Sceptre doesn't do this because the bow is lighter.
