My first toon I imagined it sitting more level.? ITs brand new in the water 1 week so far. It has a 90 hp honda on the back and a full tank of fuel. The battery is rear center under a seat.

looks a little nose high, but put people on it and it will change. It's not like you can do anything about it...

I like small things to obsess about and this seems like a good one. :)

Your Honda engine with a battery weighs about 400 lbs. Your boat would probably sit a little more level had it been a 22' or 23' model. I wouldn't stress out about it.

Tahoe makes a beautiful boat, and you can get back to nature on the lake you're on.

We're stuck with wall to wall houses with seawalls making the water slosh around like a bathtub. Every boathouse has 2 boats and at least one PWC sitting on lifts. And we're seeing all the Cigarettes, Fountains and other such boats come out on the busiest days--with their loud dual engines and subwoofers playing "country music." It's just boating heaven--of a different kind.

Looks like your set up for having 4 or 5 adults up front. That would level it out a bit. If your gonna be out with just you and the wife,,, you might want to re-arrange the weight to level her out. All depends on what you expect to have aboard most of the time,,,

Most of our lakes are untouched shoreline and quiet. I can go out on our lake for an entire weekend and see maybe 1 other boat
