Seahawk 3

[SLIM1950]

I have a Seahawk 3, with a 40 lb variable spd Minn Kota. When i go faster that 50%, my transom gets buried in the water. Is this narmal? Or should i inflate the boat more? I find the tubes in the stern are just not rigid enough to support the motor at more than 1/2 throttle.

It's quite normal, it's all about the thin unsupported pvc fabric the boat was made with. If the boat is inflated too much could burst the side seams. Just throttle enough to cancel out the rear flexing or buy a more pro boat with a rear built transom...
