Traveling Across the Water
Do not be concerned if you notice a slight hull flexing during use. The boat is designed to flex and absorb minor
bumps without damage. This flexing is one of the great advantages of polyethylene.
Trim/Planing (all models)
The Pro 120 is designed with a planing hull. However it likely will not plane with less than a 9.9 HP motor.
Two-cycle outboards generally provide better performance on a small boat because they are lighter in weight
than four-cycle motors.
The Pro 94, Pro 102, American 12 Jon and Sportsman models are not designed to plane. However, they will
travel smoothly if loaded and trimmed properly.
With most outboard motors, you can adjust the trim. This is the angle between the power unit of the motor (prop)
and the transom of the boat. If the motor is angled out too far, the bow will rise sharply when power is applied.
When the prop is angled too close to the transom, it will tend to push the bow down when power is applied.
Adjusting the weight distribution in the boat will also help the boat travel smoothly. If the bow lifts too much, shift more of the weight
forward. If the bow tends to plow down in the water, shift weight toward the stern.
TRANSPORTING
Transporting by Pickup Truck
All models can be conveniently transported in the back of a full size pickup truck. Be sure to tie the boat down snugly using several tie
down straps. Do not over tighten the straps. This will distort the deck and hull.
Trailering
If your boat will be transported on a trailer here are some important considerations. See Photos #4 & #5.
• Ensure that the trailer has supporting bunks that are 5’ to 8’ long. They should be made from 2” x 4” or 2” x 6” stock turned wide side
up. If the trailer doesn’t have bunk supports this size, you’ll need to make them. Transporting and especially storing a boat on a trailer
with too short or too narrow supports will cause the hull to dent and will significantly reduce performance.
• Do not wind the winch too tight. Just enough to snug it against the winch stop is adequate. Over tightening may distort the bow over time.
• Loosen the transom or gunwale tie down straps if the boat will be left on the trailer for more than 1-2 days. If the straps are left tight the
boat may distort under pressure.
