another option

and one I have been playing around with....

bury the tailweight deeper up the chute and plug it with a nylon spacer

example-if you use a 1" tailweight drill out the butt end 1 1/2- 2" deep, insert tailweight then insert the spacer to fill the hole. you can get the spacers in the hardware dept (where they have the screws, bolts etc) at homies.

If you are drilling the front of the through hole lower than center then this will also act SLIGHTLY as a keel weight and you don't have to drill a belly hole and fill it with weight then epoxy.

I'll post a picture later if you want.

Go Bears!
