[QUOTE="ccm, post: 347835, member: 13447"] I have a 2011 Tohatsu 4hp 4stroke. It will plain off my 14ft v hull SeaKing by Arkansas Traveler with 2 deep cycle batteries ( size 24 & 27 ), gear, bow mounted trolling motor, & me at 250 +. But it would only do this if I sat on the second bench. I just got a stingray jr hydrofoil so I will see if that helps. The motor that you have just might not have the power that it used to have. I've seen a 9.5 ( heavy use ) start first pull every time but it only had the power of a 5 or 6. This might very well be the case with your motor. It's probably to much weight at the rear. Try moving forward while underway on a slick calm day. If it plains off then you have to much weight at the stern and your not getting the leverage you need to plain. [/QUOTE]
