I bought a deal that is made for pulling intertubes or skiers. Like $25. It is a cable that hooks to both back cleats and has a float that is on a pulley that you can attach things to (the floating pulley stays in the center of the cable no matter what.). I hook that up to my cleats and then my solo drift sock to the float pulley. Now that float does "float", but.....if you give the cable slack, the cable will sink down around your prop. My solution for the sinking....."pool noodles". Put the float pulley in the middle with pool noodles on both sides. No sinking now. IT WORKS PERFECT!!!! Boat floats straight with no "see sawing". Wouldn't have it any other way. Now I only use it when Im drifting with one sock only and pulling tubes or skiing.

I actually like the boat to swing. It seems to cover a wider path down the lake. I really like the swing with a heavy chain that almost holds you in place.

Yep. We figured that out when we kept getting bites while we were setting up. Nobody was manning the trolling motor so we went back and forth as much as we went in a straight line.
