Hey guys, I bought my first small jon boat and motor last week. The Motor (1989 15 HP Jonson) runs excellent and was pushing the boat along very well but could not get the boat (Alumacraft 1436) to plane. I got back to the ramp to load up and realized that the motor was locked into the position offering the most tilt away from the transom. Would this have kept the boat from planing? It was very close to being on plane with My brother and I, but, when using it by myself the nose of the boat was extremely high in the water.
