I raised the sole about 4" I think, enough to be flush with the raised part off the plans. As far as stablilty, I don't think that it was affected at all by the move. The tank is a 23 gallon Tempo mounted below deck which kept the center of gravity low. I found that this tank fit the center area perfectly. I have a Mariner 60 hp and have taken it out twice now. I think I may have finally gotten below a half of a tank! As far as perfromance, the top speed is around 40 mph, but it cruises great at about 20. I have taken it in 3' seas at 20 mph with no problems and a dry ride.
