[QUOTE="FerrisBueller, post: 348297, member: 11145"] I agree with Bigterp I think your inability to plane out is plain and simply caused by the weight. I've got a 16' Lund and I re-built it from bare bones and added plywood casting decks and a plywood floor. That combined with battery weight adds quite a bit, and even with my 25hp if there's two of us we both have to be near the back to plane out. Like you said though, just doing some weight distribution might help a lot. You could maybe squeeze out a little extra power by doing some tuning/mods to your engine, but being a 15hp you wont get much more out of it. First thing i would do is play around with the weight and see if by just moving a battery to the back helps, and go from there to make it as simple as possible [/QUOTE]
