BuilderFl:

Tank should do it, only problem being as you burn fuel up front the problem will return. Also it will take more weight to counter act the imbalance already taking place. Understand its not a option for you after your overhaul, but that is why I am going to relocate my current tank vice, weighing down the bow. I'm also not sure how the hull will act if the bow becomes to heavy.

After my experience I can tell you I look at a boat balance/weight distribution much differently than before. And I have seen a lot of brand new boats (4 Strokes, duals engines etc..) that have the exact same problem. Hard to find a hull the rides evenly across wide range of speed. Most raise the bow up so much during acceleration that you can't even see where your going!
