What sort of boat do you have?
4.85m fiberglass with 90hp yam 4s
What boat exactly? Trim tabs and/or foil will only hide the symptoms but won't address the cause. You've got a weight balance issue, fuel tank, battery/s, eskies, whatever you can shift forwards or add forward of centre the better

Nothing I can move. I filled sandbags and put them in front and still the same. How much weight would matter?

Of course. 90HP. The dealer fitted it and optioned it. But it looks I am actually the first customer although they told me then that they had others.
