[QUOTE="BigTerp, post: 347761, member: 9169"] I don't have much experience with that size motor on a 16', but I would think it should easily plane a bare bones 16' hull? Either way, lighting up your boat by either removing some or all of your casting deck should help. What you can do is take the whole deck out and take your boat for a test run. If it gets your boat on plane you'll have a reference point to start from. You could also look into modifying the engine. Not sure if it's possible with your particular motor, but with some you can use higher hp carbs to get some more power. Would be alot cheaper than getting a whole new motor. [/QUOTE]
