Post Boat planeing?
I I have this one picture of my boat running and it seems the back is sitting a lil low? The load was an icechest and a bag of clothes. I havent seen seen a profile shot of it running since i got my trolling motor+battery up front aswell. Is dis a lil on the ass deep side? I have no issues with still runnin 29.5-30MPH along with an icechest like this.

I'm assuming your fuel tank is in the bow? Might just be a light load up there and most of weight in the stern. try moving some items around your speeds are better than me.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. :roll: Sheeshhhh
All hulls are made different there for will ride different. You do not want it to run tottally flat on the water. Yours may be riding at a slightly greater angle that an "ideal perfect angle", but it really does not look like you have any issues.
Relax, drink some beer, and enjoy your boat. It'll be fine.
