Default rinker rocket slow to plane

hello fellow boaters, I just purchased a 1995 rinker rocket and the guy I bought the boat from said the boat was slow to plane but he was putting it in the shop prior to me buying the boat for a check out.the local boat shop performed a normal tune-up as well as replacing the impeller and housing. Afterwards the boat still was very slow to plane ... Seems to be cavitating
to me. I did notice that the water inlet cover was bent slightly I tried to straighten it out and sealed it with silicone.Plenty of power but just won't
lay down and go upon take-off. Any advice?


PS. I noticed that the motor seem to cavitate when I went over another boats wake and when I atempted to go full throttle after leveling out and on plane.

Thanks for any help.
