There is something not right about how your boat is set up. I know what you mean about smaller Hatterases tendency to point their bow at the sky. Your 25 definitely should not do that, ever, ten times more so when it loaded like you described. If something was forcing the bow too high, you would be running on a small portion of a very sharp hull, far back toward the stern. That would make it unstable and might well require constant attention to the tabs. it would probably also mean that the hull would fall off a plane at a relatively high speed, something like 17 knots. Can you post some pics of the stern of the boat, showing exactly how the motor is mounted, normal engine trim for running, prop used, tab position, etc? Pics of the boat running?

The boat should track like it is on rails, even when it is pretty rough. Does it?

Troll?
