Also I'm not expecting miracles just some improvement would be nice and I love to tinker with stuff. The boat is great for the close shore lobstering I do in a relatively smooth waters in the summer. The other side of the Cape tends to be more like a washing machine (industrial kind) and that's...

I was also curious if I could I improve the tracking that it would increase Safty from a following wave. Where I lobster fish I launch in and out of a cannal with ship traffic also strong currents. At times the waves tend to double up on each other and I'm curious if one caught me off guard it...

Thank you for the advice. For power it has a Volvo Penta 180, 6cyl. Not very fast 28mph tops. Cruise about 19mph. Also the tracking problem is mostly under way slow. Very noticeable while trolling. The season is warming up. Started on the boat projects. I even bought a new 212 Miller with 200...
