23 Bow Rise

[Beaver]

A friend of mine recently bought a 1987 Seacraft CC. The boat is an absolute gem. No bottom paint and not a single stress crack. It also has a Suzuki 250 on an Armstrong bracket (non floatation).

When you first accelerate the bow rises up quite a bit before laying down. The boat rides well once underway but I am wondering if the bow rise is normal for this boat?

Thanks for any suggestions.
