I forgot to mention I have a 58 lb kicker on the transom, too. I just posted about maybe putting poly tanks under the console where the "head" is, in order to have better static balance. The batteries are already up there. I wonder if that would be enough power for 3 guys and not lots of fuel, maybe 25 gallons, no head and 40 lb of ice and some fishing gear. Out in Buzzards Bay, it is a rare day that the water is flat.

So you think the answer might be the right prop and cavitation plate fin?

Never happen - sorry
