[QUOTE="Ozark River Runner, post: 413778, member: 20678"] I just bought a 1752 alweld flatbottom jet boat. I have a tiller 60/40 merc jet. I took it out for the first time this afternoon and when on plane it's porposing bad. I have never had a jet boat do this. I have two batteries, a charger and my gas tank in the back. My wife was sitting on a cooler about halfway. I have always ran my boats this way for the last 14 years and never had an issue. I can't go full throttle and trim the motor at all. Even at slower speeds I have to remain trimmed down and the back of the boat seems to be to low for being on plane. My last boat with same motor was set up the same way and never did this. It was a 1644. The motor was mounted by the dealer who also mounted it on last boat as well. Seems to be mounted cottectly. Havent had alot of seat time to try different things yet. I am lost.
