it is death for the Jupiter, shit

Do not surrender, there are still some things you can do...
1) find where the centre of gravity is...how far it is from its correct position.
2) as Lex suggested put as much weight as possible in the back ( it could be hidden later inside a fake external fuel tank)
3) and add negative tilt on the outboard to get the nose out of the water with a burst of trust
4) skin your hull and remove all that weight then seal it again being more conservative
Do not give up, your boat deserves a life
Good luck

hello,

le poids n'est qu'un handicap pour la perf pur .... pas pour la marche du modèle

recule un max le centre de gravité et met le moteur un chouillat positif (pour faire remonter le nez)

ça va aller

Whatever solution is possible, it will remain difficult boat to sail. Sometimes you just have to cut your loses and start over, however painfull it may be ..

Look on the bright side. You can now skip the mistakes and build a perfect boat! Stripping Miss Otago to remove the extra weight will be as much work as building a new boat i think.

Oui,cést vrai Moi,je le connait bien ! In my mind,the Jupiter is a very difficult boat in scale 1:5.2 It has not enough "Updrive" from the transoms,i think.And overpowering is the wrong way.It has to be as light as possible I use a driver made of foam for my smallest 3-point-boat

Hello ,
thank you for your answers and for your help. For me it is a failure! It is unthinkable to rajoutet ballast 400g.
I'll letter aside and turn to another boat.
