I've been looking at Bass Trackers and noticed the high bow rise at rest in fishing position. The PT 195 TXW which i am interested in, also has a steep bow rise. Its about 1 ft higher bow than a Ranger Rt 198. The bow does level out some with 2 people on the front deck from the pictures i look at so sand bags might work.
Just too much weight in the back with gas tank, batteries and live well. Might loose some storage but i see some bass boats have batteries right in the back and gas tank is towards the center.
Give us a report if you do try it.
Cheers
