Well Ausfishers, the big boat is still havin a little problem " falling off " the swell.
The boat is a 6.2 Sportfish Centrecab.
It used to lean to the port side a little, ( all weight things and trims things done ), but the addition of Trim Tabs has solved that.
But, the B*&%$ thing still falls off the swell. As is in plate boats, it does not have any Strakes. I talked to a pro fisher a while ago, and he had a 7 meter plate boat that he called " dangerous " until he made the manufacturer fit strakes from front the end of the keel.
Has anyone else had the same probs, or does anyone have an opinion on this ?
Looking at all the old glass boats, all have straked hulls and handle great.
