Post subject:  Help, I am not sure what to do.
***Disclaimer: I have searched the old post and have not found enough information to guide to the best decision yet****

Ok, just threw a 35 MB on the back of my 1648 War Eagle. At first had trouble with water over the transome, but then I learned to stop slower and kill the wake before it gets to the boat, first problem solved.

Second issue, I am running and as I trim up, the dang tiller pushes towards me hard. (I sit to the right of the motor) I have the motor mounted 1" to the left of center. Before I adjust the skeg, i wanna here what you guys think.

Third issue, the boat pops up quick, but the faster I go the more the bow sinks in the water unless I trim up, and then problem #2 happens. Any help yall can give will be appreciated. :?:

You either have a hook in your boat, or too much weight up front. Sounds most likely to be a hook, tho. Problem #2 is b/c you have it trimmed up too high. First, easiest & cheapest thing to do is look down the bottom of the boat for a hook (dent). If the transom isn't all the way on the bunker boards, that's where it's gonna be. Hope this helps.

As Camo said, sounds like a hooked hull. In general, War Chickens and MM dont really perform well. A boat build for a MM will make a world of difference in performance. As far as tiller torque, play with your load placement. Shifting things around can help. Good luck.

problem 1-put some pods on it (or sell the boat and start over). Had the same problem. Added pods (custom made to fit my boat-not the beavertail-fit any boat ones) to my boat and made all the difference in the world-My boat was a legend craft mm boat-had horrible backwash-almost cound not possibly slow down enough to no get any water in.


Problem 2-why is your motor off-center? that would seem to be your problem to me-i am no expert, but would think that would give you quite a push-i do get a slight push on my pd when trimmed way up-but it is very manageable..

Problem 3-yeah i would play with my trim and adjust weight distrubution throughout the boat- Loose stuff and passengers... we play with our weight distrubution all the time and seem to figure out just a little more each time. AND ck the bottom of your boat...

Just my .005 (my cents are worth 2...)

Good luck...

1" off center away from you is where MB tells ya to mount it.

Thanks guys, you told me the things that i needed to hear, I know my boat is not the optimal boat. Looks like i am gonna be working on some dents this weekend. I am still running 25 -26 mph with 3 guys and a 10 " prop. I am almost possitive I can work the dent out. I know where it is, and I remember the oyster reef that put it there, :mrgreen: so wish me luck. I will let you guys know how this goes.
