Tmala-
Thx for your response. Per Bushwacker (former moderator, bright guy and friend of 50 years), play with the calculations to see how much mass to temporarily place forward to simulate moving your leaning post before going thru the actual relocation. Engines were about 300 lbs when your boat was built. Best wishes

I'm thinking that you may be trimming out too much when you 'trim for speed' - these hulls don't have a stern pad like some of the bass boats or Fountains so trimming out does not work the same. Also, do you have trim tabs? When I was a kid we had an Aquasport that porpoised - put fixed tabs on it with about 1 degree and it was fine (before hydraulic tabs were affordable)...

Consider trim tabs. Your min plane speed will be even lower.

Bennet's are the best.
