    Don't add weight. Just cost you more in gas.
    Install a Dolphin or one of the other trim plates.
    I can promise you,, you won't be sorry.

    If you can on your boat you may look at moving your battery to the front, anchors as well. try not to add weight but move the weight around you already have

    figure out how much weight you want to add and find a buddy that weighs about that much. That type of weight will sometimes even pay for part of the gas.:D

    I have moved an 48qt. cooler with water up front as needed. When you don`t need it just empty the cooler.
