I cut some 3 inch wide pieces of angle. Its 3 inches long by 1/2 inch high. Put them on with some epoxy incase i have to take them off and modify them. Also, i can't weld. Anyway, went and ran the boat last night. Before the wedges with just me in the boat, i'd get about 25.5 or so before the porpousing would start. After the wedges, i ran up to about 27.5 before it would just barely start to bounce. I'm gonna mess with the tabs on my GDSD to calm down the last little bit of bounce. I can't believe that how much those 2 little pieces of angle helped out the ride. Thanks to everyone who helped so far with this project. I'll be messing with it some more after the mud run to see if a little larger wedge will help. But the improvement so far is awesome! _________________ Mud Buddy 4500 Black Death hauling the Uncle J 18x58

I had some free time yesterday so I started tinkering with the boat. Just wanted to know if the 1/2 inch was gonna be enough, or too much. _________________ Mud Buddy 4500 Black Death hauling the Uncle J 18x58

Got a few bills to pay off and just really don't want 3 notes at the same time. Right now I have a 4 wheeler and my better half's ring to pay off. Gotta get rid of one of those before I can send Uncle J and Chops each a big check. After the run, I plan on toying with the wedges and seeing what sizes work the best. _________________ Mud Buddy 4500 Black Death hauling the Uncle J 18x58

Bayouboy posted some pics of his wedges. Mine are the same as his. _________________ Mud Buddy 4500 Black Death hauling the Uncle J 18x58
