Henry,
Was it always like this? We can drive Wing Tip down into the water by exceeding hull speed but she really doesn't squat. You may have a problem with the angle of the thrust from the outboard causing it to squat from the thrust. Try angling the thrust downward a bit so the transom rises under hard acceleration.

Two questions: 1) Does anyone have any input re: Bowleys Quarters Marina? We're thinking of moving across from the Eastern Shore - it's over an hour closer to our house and somewhat less expensive. 2) We have a 1975 C27 that had an Atomic 4 (which expired and was removed & replaced by an outboard on a bracket). There's a drain hole in the transom (for the cockpit). It takes on water when we're motoring faster than a crawl - we plug it with a removable rubber plug but what if it's pouring rain while we're out there? Anybody have any ideas. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Splendid Solstice & a happy 2010! Henry & Lynn Cohen Ceol na Mara (Hull #1956) On the hard in Rock Hall MD [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
