They are a little nose-heavy. My buddy put a 10oz. tank in the rear right sponson and it ran looser. Leave the rudder as-is.

I took half inch off my rudder also use the rudder to help trim angling rudder bottom in will help lift the bow kick it back to lower the bow play with prop hight and trim angle take time to get it right my prop will cavitate at slow speeds launching and such but runs great otherwise
