"I just finished restoring a 1
"I just finished restoring a 1954 wagemaker wolverine. It is 14 ft.long with a 1953 johnson seahorse 25 hp motor and weighs about 300 lbs. without the motor (about 400 with the motor). Unless someone sits in the back on the starboard side the boat will list to the port side and plow the water. I have adjusted the motor to all positions at the transom but nothing seems to help. The steering wheel is on the port side and an old timer suggested changing sides. I tried sitting on the starboard side and steering. It helped some but not enough to be comfortable. It did not keep the bow from plowing with full throttle. I switched motors to see if that would help (59 Evinrude Lark, 35 hp). The boat came to plane better but still wanted to list. I really would like to use the original motor. Does anyone have ideas to correct these problems"
