I agree the weight I have forward helps me out a lot even still I get some proposing at certain speeds and conditions could just be me still getting used to my set up though... Wasn't really thinking about it but without all the nose weight from the cuddy it would probably porpoise a lot more... I have trim tabs on the boat now but I haven't got around to hooking them up so in all reality they may as well not be there.
Yeah docking is a pita for sure I've hit the dock with this boat almost every time I've took it out since I installed the bracket... Getting pretty good at wet sanding and buffing... But I will be adopting the gel coat cost money skin will grow back motto on my outings with others in the boat now!!!
In the end you have to be the one to make a decision and be happy with it! I'm glad I put the bracket on mine since I wanted a outboard. But my boat was I/o and if it had of been outboard when I got it I wouldn't have went through the trouble of adding the bracket. There are pro's and cons to everything it's all in what you want..
