[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 455036, member: 3278"] [size=5]In order to get the boat on plane the trim position should be closest to the boat with the engine...or fully trimmed in. This will help lift the transom and push the bow over and on to plane. Shiftable weight should be as far forward as possible at least for your "testing" purposes. Jacking the engine any farther than you already have it will not make the difference you are looking for. At this point I would rather see the cavitation plate about 1" under the bottom of the boat to make sure the propeller is not ventilating and stays hooked up. Give this a shot and keep us in the loop.[/size] [/QUOTE]
