Due to the design of my 18' bowrider, the bow dips hard when I come to a stop....further exentuated in chop. Moving along, want to stop, bow dips hard. Really unnerves my wife.
Is there a way to maneuver the boat to decrease this? I was thinking making a hook or a u-turn before stopping of to get out of the momentum of my own wake pushing me forward and thrusting the bow down.?
It bothers her so much, we may be going with a larger boat (cruiser) that sits high off the water and has a cabin in front instead of a giant scoop for water. It doesn't bother me personally. I like a bowrider and would rather go with a larger one in the future.
