[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 435745, member: 3278"] [size=5]Go back to the initial trim pin position mentioned in my first post. Move your fuel and battery load forward. Make your passenger move to the front seat at least until the boat breaks over on plane. I don't think you need to worry about the throttle too much at this point. Let's start with the simple things first. A 14' aluminum boat with most of the weight aft will do nothing but dig a big hole in the water trying to plane. Bow will go high and stern will be digging that hole. A 14' hull lacks planing surface compared to a larger hull. Surface loading will be high where you currently have your weight. [/size] [/QUOTE]
