So......let me get this right...you spend every work day sitting in a boat looking at some old bearded guy kneeling while holding a dead fish and flipping you off?

That's just weird....GPR :p

I see you have your new toy on the transom....I'll bet that black kitten just purrs right along.

Snow, It purrs along Great, except for one thing.... I can't get her to trim out with just me in the boat! :( If I have someone with me on the bow seat she gets up to plane and flies. With just me in it I can't go over 7m.p.h. with out having the bow so far up in the air that I'm almost taking on water over the stern. :( It came out with a 10 degree pitch on the prop. They traded me a 12 degree pitch prop and it's still riding bow high. I'm going to have to try a 13 degree prop next. If that doesn't help I'll have to put a whale tail on it like I had on my old motor. Too darned much power for a 14 footer I guess! :(

You could try dropping a couple 35lb. Olympic Weights in the nose when fishing solo along with the 13 degree prop. I've never seen the whole boat from a side angle....thought it was at least a 16 if not an 18 ft Jon. Big weight difference between those and 14. I know a little bit about that since I just happen to own a boat trailer stand manufacturing company. I'll bet she's a blast when you can get her to plane..... water rocket comes to mind!!!!

Outside of that....without an electric trim tickler it's looking like a whale tail maybe the only option.
