Hey, dginge. I feel your pain. I have a suzuki 140 4stroke on mine and have to monitor weight in the rear. You have to keep in mind that these boats were designed to have lightweight 2strokes on them. There are some things you can do to help offset this, but, outside of putting a lighter motor on it, you're looking at some modifications to correct this problem. Until I get the coin to redo mine, I've moved batteries under the console and keep as much weight forward as possible. I don't hesitate to use mine and have a grip on the weight issue for now. Move your weight forward and enjoy her.
