Here's my 2 cents;
based upon yr pic at the pier you find the boat planes very quickly, but that may also be the curse. You also might find;
1. you may have to run the engine more trimmed away from the stern to get the bow back to the norm (up) as it ran with the other motor.
2. the boat may be squirrley because not as much stern (hull) is in the water.

Hope this not the case.

I have taken her out several times. It rides real nice with three guys and gear it rode high and dry. That picture there was not much gas in her so she sat a little high. The motor is faster than I need. Just to see with three of us in there I got her up to 45 mph, I got a little scared so I backed off. I know she could have gone faster but why?

Even though I moved everything forward it does not really ride that much different, just more room to fish in the back and a drier ride home when the NW winds are blowing.
