I am really having some difficulty using this site. Quess I'll learn. My thought was to shim the motor to align it with the shaft but I have only seen pictures of the boat, not handle one. It really seems like the boat for me, but my creative mind won't wait till I get one to solve issues. Like if you put small tabs (hydrafoils) maybe 3/16"x3/4" on the gunnel line near the bow, angled up at maybe 3 degrees would it prevent submarineing as long as the boat is right side up? Thank you for the reply Capt.
