[QUOTE="RiverLife, post: 389996, member: 18879"] Try shifting some of the weight around first. My friend uses cinder blocks in the front of his Jon when he is out by himself. Helps with bow position and rides smoother. I also have a feeling that your motor is not big enough or possibly boat and motor for river situations. I had a small 11' with a 5hp and it would not plane out especially on the river. I saw a guy recently with a 12' semi V with a small outboard in the river near my home. He couldn't plane out unless he sat on the cooler in the middle of the boat with a PVC pipe tiller extension. Even then it was barley making it. What kind of boat and how many HP is she rated for? What outboard do you have? Pics would help too. [/QUOTE]
