Default supervee27 How to keep it on the water?

Having trouble with the sv 27 staying upright. All stock with grim 40/53 prop. Currently running a little down angle in the stinger drive, maybe 1 or 2 degrees along with a little down angle on the tabs. The boat is not performing back flips anymore(actually landed a few and kept going). However it still rolls easily when taking the light chop(1or 2 inches) or even other wakes from the side. Will more down angle in either the prop or the tabs help the rolling? Is anyone putting any weight into these boats? I realize that some of these answers may be in the big SV27 thread, but I haven't found them yet.

I placed 8 oz. of lead under the radio box and it helped stabilize the SV 27 and it did not slow the boat down.

Thanks, JD. I may give that a try next. Interesting that you put it that far back, I was thinking more like under the engine.

Well, it was easy to cram it under the radio box shelf.[)]
