sitting normal?

so i am wondering if this is a normal stance for a starfire? it seems a little low to me in the back. the swim platform is just above the water. i figure it may be normal because it does have the 260 v8 in the back and i know thats pretty heavy. any ideas?

Funny you should ask that, I ask the same thing a few weeks ago with Checkmates in general. All sit that way. I'll try to find the thread on that. http://checkmate-boats.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13479

Nice boat! I am no expert, but it looks perfect to me. I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but all of the C-mates I have seen look the same way when running wide open and trimmed right for top speed(bow high). So I guess when they are sitting still, they are just begging to go fast!:cheers: boatman
 
i like when i'm taking off and the bow comes up so hi that i can't see anything. probally looks cool from the beach...haha
