So, my dad and I have been confused for a while why our Strokers feel so different when we get them on plane. His jumps up and has considerably more bow lift than mine does. The setups are almost the same, and we've swapped props back and forth between them but had the same result. Well we were fishing last weekend and finishing a can of thinking juice and it dawned on us, its got to be the batteries. I've got all lithium, and he has all lead. So we put him on the back deck right over the transom and got it up on plane and sure enough it was just like his. I guess losing that much weight that far back moved the COG forward. Seems obvious now that we've realized it.
