It took a little getting used to. At rest the bow sits slightly higher than before, because I see a little more bottom paint as I look forward. The additional weight at the transom means it handles a little different, too, especially at speed in a good cross-wind. At first I thought I might have to add trim tabs, but after getting used to it I'm not sure I need them. But I'll say this much -- added weight plus added horsepower plus the change to hydraulic steering made her feel like a completely different boat. The power is awesome! I just had to get accustomed to all the changes.
