bow lift
IS thier any mods too lift the bow, my 27 Seebold seems to hug the water at WOT at the bow. Without Shorties -cant afford. My tank is pulled, leaking, installing a new one, seems too big and too far front, maybe making a smaller one and sticking it further back? was 95" long more than half in front...Have new motor, about 500 hp custom built w/ bravo- runs 68-79 with 23 mirage -but I still think bow is dug in too foward - yes I have play with the trim constainlly with no avail....ANy help appreciated...
forgot to mention, 7.5 inches from bottom of boat to center of shaft.

Re: bow lift
Moving weight aft is a proven factor, no doubt a good prop will help but getting the nose lighter with do just as much and maybe more. It did for me.

Re: bow lift
a 27 w/ a single that runs 68-79(big range) with 23 mirage is pretty darn good. Count your blessings and save your money for gas.
btw, what rpm ya spining the 23 to hit 79?
good luck and have fun
