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

Some jack plates are adjustable and some are not. If he has the adjustable then he might have his motor set up a little too high.

Think he's talkin bout his pops boat... And the jack plate don't hurt it that bad

Es,
Before you spend any money, check and see where the prop is setting in water. With jackplate on, someone may have raised motor a couple inches. Jackplate should make it better coming out of hole if heighth is set right.

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.

He's a geezer so he hasn't had the rpms anywhere near full blast. He planes it off and puts. I'll have to look at the prop. All I can tell ya is it's a big ss 3 blade

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
