Well, loads of them use play boats, including my mate in another (larger)
I:3. I think I might just need to hit the gym, I'm only a 5ft tall lass
so
I don't think that helps either. I might try notching the seat back an
inch
or two to see if that brings the nose out a little more, I'm flat in the
water at the moment.

If you trim your boat to lift the bow, you dip the stern. So the stern get
dragged under the surface by the stern wave sooner, thus you ultimate
optimum speed may be less. Also, with a lower stern those little waves that
you hopped across can catch you back end and get you practicing hip flicks
and braces etc. :-)

I think flat in the water is good. Others may have different opinions.
