[QUOTE="KMixson, post: 144515, member: 432"] 5 HP on a 12' jon seems kind of small to get on plane. You might want to try taking it out on the water with just you and a life jacket to check it out. Change the trim setting if it still will not plane. Take no fishing gear, trolling motor, coolers, gear, or any other non essential items to test it. If it planes, then start adding weight to it to see when it stops planing. If it will not plane while empty, it will not plane loaded. If it will not plane your only other option is to get a bigger motor. [/QUOTE]
