I have put my 170 DC through it's sea trials and wow! You people really might want to consider the trim tabs. The tabs got rid of all of my issues with the boat. Now i can raise, lower, adjust for list, you name it I can do it. I really am impressed with the upgrade.
here's the link to insta trim. 10x8 is the size i went with, you can find them for around $325 shipped. I will send pics soon.
