[QUOTE="arob8924, post: 345691, member: 12765"] I have messed with the trim, trying each of the 4 or 5 settings it has and it seems to work the best while the motor is trimmed all the way down. I dont know anything about different props for this engine but could that be the issue? Also i should mention i have only tested the boat on a small river... but whether im going up or downriver doesnt seem to have much effect on the planing ability. It feels like there is just too much weight in the back... I weigh 250 but ive seen videos of similar or bigger sized guys up on plane with smaller motors! Im kindof at a loss... Im thinking the hydrofoil may help but it seems like i shouldnt even need one. [/QUOTE]
