Kami, you are right. Need to address both issues, hence the jack plate I installed because lowering the bracket was not an option ( no space to do so).

Now that you pointed out the difference between CC & Cuddy, I looked closely at MC's picture and noticed that his weight center is closer to the bow that with ours. The Cuddy has the weight 1/3 forward were as we have it 1/3 aft.
What do you think about my gas tank theory? I mean, filling up my 98 gals (about 612 lbs) to balance so weight forward?
This is the location of the original tank.

This is the new tank plus my fresh water tank (20 gals) about 160 lbs.

With 1/3 tank, about 32 gals. all the gas weight moves aft.
