[QUOTE="SkagBass, post: 143260, member: 3418"] I just purchased a 14' Starcraft aluminum. It has a 9.9hp Merc. I have noticed that when I am alone in the boat it is plowing and I have the manual trim set to be as close to the boat as possible. When I have the kids with me it seems to get on plane. I will take some of the great suggestions provided here and try to apply them to my situation. I think the shim suggestion might work for me. Just to make sure i am understanding this correctly, I would shim the motor where it attaches to the transom? with the goal being to get the prop angled a bit more toward the boat to push the back end of the boat up a bit more?
