Once I switched to the 4-stroke I did sag a touch in the back. Maybe an inch at the most. But the way the hull seats itself whe runnin made a huge difference. The boat doesnt want to leap out of the wave when runnin in a head sea and Ive yet to have a following sea this thing doesnt just run the hell out of. I was in a solid 3' following sea the other day runnin 30+ comfortably while the contender to my south was falling in and out of plane. I love the way it handles now. Much better with a touch more weight in the back
