Interesting info about adding the 200 lb plate.

Basically the bottom of the boat is a pad design. When on the pad the boat has the ability to take a better set and be faster, even with the added weight. These boats move around a lot, as OB001 has said, it helps balance the boat and keep it on the pad.
