If you need a 20" mid let me know...you can have one...

Steve's advice is bang on....what kind of fuel line do you have?

I would also check the filter and see if there is a blockage in there. I say this as I had one earlier this year which lead to hesitation at WOT. I popped the filter off and sure enough found the blockage. It is quick and easy to do as well.

the 5 gallon plastic tanks do not have adequate venting for your motor. I found this out testing mine when I was waiting for my fuel cell. see if you can install a better vent on the tank, and dont run with it almost empty( a few wide open passes LOL)

eventually i would get a small plastic fuel cell, maybe 12 to 15 gallon and mount it permantly in the boat, check the pickup in your plastic tank and make sure it has no screen and is 3/8 tube.

i have the original stainless one but it wont fit anymore,,, a freind of mine has offered me a bow tank for it but im worried it will aggravate the chine walk,..i have my eyes open for a set of side balast tanks or under seat tanks,. but they all sound expencive..

take the bow tank, your chine walk is because your motor is not high enough, you have single cable steering, from the pick I saw, these two things make it alot worse. a certain amount is normal on a v pad boat as you dont have much boat in the water a full speed, measure how far the centerline of your propshaft is below the bottom point of the hull and post. take a 4' level off the bottom surface of the hull and trim the motor so the propshaft is level (parallel) with it and post the height. this is a good starting point.
