I am not sure why we are asking this question re being further back from the transom, the boat would be so unbalanced and ponderous ( butt sitting in the water ) that you would be nothing but slow.

If you are having to go back behind the beam then your boat has to little foward bouyancy and the easiest way out would be to buy a couple of T foils. Also by going to the max spinny pole length and raising it slightly also seems to help lift the bow at speed.

The skiffs step off the back more to raise the bow because of the hull design, on the cats we should never really need to.
