the boats fiberglass and it sits with six inches of trailer bunks past the transom(but i don't know if it did ever sit on a trailer for a long time) and that is what i was told could most likely be the problem . since the boat is an 86 but it's not soft anywhere and i ran a board down the bottom and no gap. I've also heard from an old wise man that used to drag race boats that said he used to sand the hook out of a boat to make it reach top speeds. does anyone know how to do this and another idea i have is if i lower the motor farther than it needs to be would that help. It sits in the right postions now. I also tried taking the dolf-fins off the motor to see if that was making the nose dive and itdidn't change it a bit.
