Live with it.Not much you can do.My scuppers suck due to the 225 weight.They sell the rig with a 150 but it is rated for 225

Moving the fuel tanks doesn’t really help because the weight gets less as the fuel is used up. Adding weight to the bow will level the boat, but it’s inefficient to haul around extra weight. It hurts performance and economy.
Moving the batteries is expensive because of the heavy cables required and batteries don’t do well with the heavy pounding they would take in the bow.
The real solution is a lighter motor.

I agree. Shifting weight forward would help some but I wouldn’t ADD weight. I suspect that at rest it would sit the bow deeper but may not actually raise the stern. The boat will sink until the volume of water displaced equals the boat weight so the bow being narrower would mean the bow would sink deeper per the same weight than the broader stern.
