Guessing the battery is in the stern and no anchor and chain in the forward locker? The Cohassett console is lighter than other models which would explain why the bow appears a little high. If you are concerned about trim, a small 72 qt cooler in front of the console with tools, anchor etc would help. Nice rig!.

I was concerned about water in the hull which is why I posted the pic, but that is a big heavy engine so it does weigh it down some (I got a good deal on the engine which is why its on there, idealy I think a 70hp 2-stroke yammi would be perfect). My top end with that engine is 35-36 knots with my GPS, how does that sound to you guys? I figure comparing that with others top speeds with 90hp might give me an idea of how heavy it is or is not
