    Hey guys. I just got my body boat back from the SBC and shes finally running great. After 2 years of time to redo the floor, wiring, and everything else I was finally able to hit the water. So now for my question. When I was at full thortle the left side of my boat sank super low to the water and my right side the drivers side raised out of the water. My body is a older tri hull with a 1983 mercury 115 horse motor on it. Its my first boat from my grandparents. How can I fix this??? Or can’t I??

    You could put trim tabs on, but I would make sure you have even load distribution first.

    Does your engine have power trim? if it doesn’t you will need to set the angle of your motor “trimmed out” more. What you are feeling is the prop torqueing the boat. the motor needs a more positive trim angle. If it does have trim just trim out after you get up and running and the boat should level out.

    Are all the batteries and anything heavy loaded on the left side of your boat?
    You may need to balance things out
