I agree with you rudderhinge and frankly I am puzzled.
As per your and others suggestion, I am going to install an innerhull drain anyway. I've never owned a "bayboat" before and maybe its not plowing and I'm just use to the feel of a semi-V hull. It just
feels like the bow should be up another 8-10 inches or so at WOT. I'll report back after I install the inner hull drain. Thanks!
