    Thanks. I kept looking at the center thinking I was missing something.

    I guess I should be honest. I probably don't weight 190 any more. Stupid Christmas cookies.....

    Are most of you taking off with propshaft above the pad? I have tried it from 1/2 below to 1/2 above and haven't noticed much difference. Will have to do more testing.

    My best holeshot solo or with a passenger is at 3/8" above then bump to 1/2" above or my best topend. I can't get my spreadsheet that River Rocket did for me to load on here yet. He and I load our boats quite differently.

    Thanks for posting. This is my normal fishing load not including fuel or cooler which weighs between 20-30 lbs. I normally carry a portable cooler to aid with balance as needed. Only it starts heavy and ends light lol

    That's pretty impressive stuff. I have weighed my stuff but not to that detail. One thing I did notice is that the DRIVERS weight looks a little more than the last time I saw him, but I guess that happens to most of us. Geoff, someday we will need to get together. Your Ally is a great looking rig.

    When I'm driving I'm nearly balanced 50/50 port to starboard. This is the first time I have done something like this. It's amazing how the weight adds up. I also find it incredible how fast the boat can go with this much weight. To crack these kinds of speeds in my tunnels they had to be cleaned out. These boats run this fast with all this gear and loaded with gas and oil. Impressive!
