    Try a tiller extension rather than ballast. Every pound counts with a small motor. I use HelmsMate extensions and they work fine. My 6 hp Mercury pushes my 200 lb and a 14 foot Blue Fin (225 lb) at about 14 with the motor jacked up 1/2" and running on the second tilt position. Rig will not plane with me on the back seat.
