interesting. not bow heavy for me at all: Armstrong bracket on a 23. verado 250 with 25" shaft, close to 660 lbs in engine alone. guess that accounts for no issues with the bow heavy
. 130 gallon tank ends under my front console seat and tank goes to under my leaning post so basically smack in middle of boat. my boat is tank like.I would prefer a hermco, and want it even larger made to the second panel even. for a 30" single. but that's for float at rest. and cant justify the cost to redo whats fine.
something is odd. someone put lead in the bow along the way? its got to be fuel tanks, or something heavy in the bow. take a pic of the bracket/engine out of water for mounting height looksee. how far is the prop from the hull bottom if you extend a straight edge and how much setback on the bracket from transom?
