Maybe it needs TA-JUSTING (as my youngest used to say)??? Do those need to be fine-tuned to the load?Quote:

Yes, I knew he's talkin' about the ONLY boat they've got that's navigable. :( I just wondered if the JackPlate needed adjusting. Thanks, MO. :)Quote:

I have any extra motor with a 115 and mine pops up on plane. I'm running a 19" SS.
His boat is also an '89 model and quite tank-ish. It has to weigh more than mine
If he aint gonna run it giving up top end wont be too bad, sure is nice to get in it when you need it tho. If the jackplate is adjustable just lower it a half inch at a time and see if it helps. Be sure to keep both sides the same, did this to mine 4 weeks ago and it helped.
