So if he's running around 1200lbs up front and 450lbs between the 2 rear hard tanks plus a little in the bags doesn't equate to bow rise. I run 1100lbs between the belly tank, plug&play bow bag and lead for bow weight and rear tanks plus sumo 475's for around 1400lbs in the rear with minimal bow rise on my 2016 A20. I can sit normal when driving with no bolster seat and see everything fine. Wish I could give some advise but his weight setup just doesn't sound like he should have so much. What speed do you guys ride at? I'm between 22-23 when pulling my crew.

This is about what I run in our T, all axis boats have pretty similar hulls. Bow comes up high as the wedge kicks in but that lasts all of 5 seconds. And we are both running about 2/300 less of bow weight. I run at 21.6-22.6...
And the newer boats are more prone to bow rise than the older ones
Scott- what sac does your boy run up front? The mushroom? Engine? Prop?
