To be honest, when bow tank is full ride is not great ,once its empty great , as you get to 3/4 tank in main tank rides awesome .... I was told that its the small sixe of trim tabs... they really don't trim boat efficiently. We are gonna probably move up soon to something larger with enclosed bridge so any mods Im gonna put off
My next issue is deciding what to get probably a hatteras in 60-65 range but as of now who knows kicked around buying a cruiser and maybe a little express or cc for me to fish on, Im a striper fisherman more than an offshore guy... but don't really love goin 18knts ... or the look of M.Y

If you go that route, take a look at the Sunseekers, they're fast for a MY or Express and have a great ride.

No it's weight too far foward, trim tabs won't help that. LCG is a little too far foward, that's why when you move the fuel in the bow tank aft, the ride is very noticably better, and as fuel burns off the aft tank it increases also. If the aft tank was further aft or other weight, it would probably ride better all of the time.
