Thanks for all he ideas. I know that trim works well on my v hulls,
but I've never used a tube boat. And seeing it's not a v or tri-hull
etc, I was wondering about the trim's effectiveness on a two-rail type
system. Yeah, I suppose I'll find out one way or another.


I have noticed that pontoons sit low in the back anyhow, and with
people on it, the things sit low everywhere.


True, this might take a bit of experimentation.


"Trimming" the people on the boat by balancing the load makes more
difference than anything you can do with the motor but a load on that
aircraft carrier you have is probably 10 or more. It is real hard to
get that many people to sit in one spot for long.


Agreed. It will probably be mroe like a portable or powered raft if
anything else
