I have a Johnson GT150 VRO V6 after starting motor no matter how slow or fast I press my hot foot the boat will not come up on plane but if I have someone sit all the way up on the front it will eventually plain and then run awesome but if I slow down and it loses plain I have to go through the whole routine again. Any help out there I haven't done anything yet I don't want to jump in on something that I don't know much about. I would like to get some input first. I do have a hi jacker plate and it is set with the motor at lowest point.

Welcome to Iboats,

Which is the max HP transom rated for that boat ? Probably underpowered, bady trimmed and propped. Does the engine achieves full wot rpm which is ? while lightly loaded ?

Happy Boating

How about a couple of pics of the boat with your answers to the above questions. Then we will walk you through where to start looking for your answers; boat problem, operator problem, engine problem....fuel or spark.......prop problem.
