Welcome Reyb, the expression is " May you live in interesting times and may you live an interesting life" You are well on your way brother.
A couple of observations, your hull should have a knee wall about 14 inches high around the motor well , at the back of the cockpit, right?
If it does and you are getting water over that knee wall that separates the motor well from the cockpit you are in a dangerous area.
Do you dunk your motor pretty good when drifting in a chop?

You have floor drains in the back of your cockpit correct?
Does water flow in from them when at rest or when there is a little chop action going on while drifting?

When you get out of the water on the trailer and you pull the garber plug how much water comes out?
Assuming you have not capsized it on that trip? ;D

Where does that bait well drain to? I am assuming you have a hose or pump at that drain on the floor, right?

The reason I am asking all these questions is you have a beautiful V, but you should not be having those kinds of water problems, relocating weight sounds like an immediate first move but there may be more to it and if you answer those questions the guys on this site can help you sort it out.

You are talking about two footers and being only the second V I have ever heard of getting capsized, that is very serious and I would hate to see you or someone else for that matter get hurt. Let us know. ;)
