[QUOTE="ccm, post: 342403, member: 13447"] Hey RStewart I think the reason your boat isn't plaining out is because of the long shaft. I have a 1961 Sea King PDUT built by Arkansas Traveler(same as DUT model) I have a 4hp Tohatsu 4stroke tiller model and if I move to the second bench seat the boat will plain out nicely. I have just bought a Stingray Junior Hydrofoil to see if it will plain with me at the back bench. If I were you I might try a jack plait to get the cavitation plate to the same level as the bottom of the hull. And as far as turning my motor into a 6hp it will happen when my warranty expires. (two years to go :( ) Good luck to you in converting your motor into a 15hp. [/QUOTE]
