@RobbieO id'd it right, I've got the 750.

The only install issue was that I kept falling to the left without all the cash to counterbalance me on the right...and it's heavy as all get out
Another observation @drewkaree . Have you checked your tongue weight? I had to move my winch up 3” to get it right. And as luck would have it, I was able to mount my ARK closer to the tongue as recommended. Maybe you could/should/maybe check it.

Already did when I first got the boat. I bought the same scale that's passed around in the forum thread around here, got a great deal on Amazon one day, and had a gift card to fund it

I don't recall at this point what I was using as my percentage, but it was somewhere at or under 10%, and I did end up moving my winch post, but the amount to bring it in line was maybe half an inch or a touch more. I didn't think that was enough to be noticeable, but it completely stopped the porpoising I was having, and the surge brake wasn't kicking in like it was before.

That’s THE best tip to tell people, IMO, for when they first get their boat. Goodonya ? It really is eye opening to see how such small changes can make such a difference.
