Probably best poinitng back to the Motor Boat Forum.
Tiss difficult to navigate these columns sometimes.
There will be lots of peeps on the Motorboat forum that will give good advice.
The different sections of the YBW Forai have different slants to them.
All talk about boats cept "The Lounge" which generally doesn't.
Largley inhabited by intelligent types.
So I am told.Yer don't see Me in there much.
So keep yer ears open on the Motor Boat bit.
Tiss easier to follow one section.
Cheers

The trick with all boats to get correct fore and aft trim is to move heavy things forward. So move your battery and fuel tank to the bow. Also anchor and chain and anything else movable.
Of course a boat like I think you have light weight with largish outboard is always going to travel bow high at speeds just below planing speed.
It should level out at low speeds or on the plane at high speeds. Maybe you expect too much. good luck olewill
