The trim is a function of the weight aboard and where it's located. With full tanks aft you will need some trim. It's not putting the bow down as much as raising the stern. As the fuel burns off you will need less trim. My 36 Convertible runs best with no trim but then I never fill the tanks past 1/2. Why carry it out and then carry it home?
