| I just bought a 202 triton and am not happy with the way the boat porposes and bounces around in almost no waves. I am thinking about putting a stabalizer on and wondering if anybody has an opinion on brands or any other ideas? |

| That boat should not need a stabilizer. Talk to Josh at the 'Boat Doc' in Lomira. He will have a few suggestions. (920) 269-2628 |

| YOU MIGHT WANT TO PUT YOUR TROLLING MOTOR BATTERIES UP FRONT AND PUT A HYDRO-FOIL ON YOUR MOTOR. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY G3 AND IT CURED IT RIGHT AWAY. PLUS I GAINED ANOTHER 2 MPH AND IT GETS ON PLAIN A LOT FASTER. MY BOAT RUNS A LOT SMOOTHER WITH THE HYDRO-FOIL. BELEIVE ME I'M NO EXPERT BUT IT WORKED FOR ME. I FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH ALUM. VS FIBERGLASS. JMO. |

| Which Hydro-Foil did you use, many on the market and curious which one has worked for others? |

| I PUT THE STIGRAY STABILIZER ON MY MOTOR. IF I DO IT AGAIN I'M GOING WITH THE TWO PEICE STABILIZER SYSTOM INSTEAD. THE TWO PEICE LOOKS GOOD AND IT IS MORE WATER DYNAMIC, LESS DRAG. I DO A LOT OF TROLLING WITH MY 90 YAMAHA 4 STR AND THE STINGRAY HELPS IN KEEPING MY BOAT ON COARSE BECAUSE IT MAKES THE STEERING SO MUCH MORE SMOOTHLY. ONCE AGAIN JMO. |

| Make sure the motor is mounted at the proper height. i have a 215 and had a similiar problem. I raised my motor two full holes and it cured the problem. Like the other gentleman said - talk to Josh at The Boat Doc.
A lot of variables come into play when issues like this arise. |
