Help!: Front ballast for 20' alum. boat?
I need some advice on getting a 20'x72" Fisher aluminum boat properly balanced front-to-back. The problem is that it has a 90HP Honda 4-stroke (heavy) motor, and the front of the boat rises up too high out of the water even with a moderate throttle.
I was hoping that some of you might have suggestions on a reasonable way to put some weight in the front of the boat under the deck. We thought of just drilling out some rivets to be able to get access to beneath the deck and putting a few bags of concrete mix back under there, but still wanted some other input. Hope this is not too far off topic, but it *is* our crappie boat haha. Thanks from a KY boy who's bustin' to get to Weiss soon!
