As to '3.0's are dogs' and whether or not they can get a 19'er on plane...
This is me and our little 175 right after we got it...
Below are a couple of videos I did to show how quick it got on plane- I've always said 'almost instantly', and it is!
First vid, note I say 'in neutral', that's a lie, it was actually idling in gear... -- after it's on plane the rest is just cruising and wind noise...
Second vid is a 3-second-to-plane time at only half throttle. Yes, this is a small, light boat, but the one time I had 7x180+ pound souls on board, it only took 5 seconds to plane. I really can't imagine 2' more boat turning it into a dog. If one IS a dog, there's something wrong with it...
