Sink it and buy an 18ft with the insurance money.


Trim tabs, wedges, weld a bead on the back, move gas tank and battery(s) up front, beat a hook in it...

I had a 16x56 hull that did the same thing. Wedges fixed my problem.

Any welder or boat builder could slap some wedges on in about 5 minutes. I'm sure they could supply them too.

I've never dealt with wedges. Any chance you can take a picture of them on your boat and post them. Do they raise or lower the trim?

Glad to hear the wedges helped out! Like I said, they made a huge difference on my old boat.
