Ok so i did every thing that you sugested Ron, But i could not move the pickup any more to the center of the boat because the radio box is in the way. I took some pics so see if i did everything rite. One thing is that the boat weighs a little under 4 pounds. I think that is quite alot. I realy dont know how to take any weight off cause i dont have much on the boat. and about the engine mount there is not much to it so i realy cant take much off of it.
