These boats run bow high. I know many have installed extensions onto their trim tabs to get the nose down. Mainship went to a tunnel on the Pilot 2 which puts the thrust vector more parallel to the boat's longitudinal axis. A convention set up would provide the needed downward force. It was lost with the tunnel.....that is my theory anyway.
