Thanks for postin' that ad, ST...

Seein' that picture, I can't help but notice the high bow attitude of that boat...and while I'll be 1st to say it makes for a flashy ad, that high a bow sure makes for a BUMPY-@$$ ride in the real world...lookin' at the picture below of my 74, it does virtually the same thing...cuttin' to the point, if this is a concern for you, trim-tabs are the cure...they really drop that pointy-end of the hull into oncoming waves and smooth things out real nicely...and when propping a V20, if this is a problem, today's prop technology offers a "stern-lifting" option that'll help as well...
