I need some help guys.
i got a 16' lowe semi tunnel hull jon that i cant get to plane out.when i first got the boat it had a 25hp johnson that i got to plane once only because i hit another boaters wake. now i have a 35hp evinrude but still cannot plane.i was having alot of problems with boat drag because the motor sat to low mainly because of the tunnel.i bought a manual jack plate and got the cavitation plate about a half inch from being level with bottom and it now has a 4in offset but it still isnt enough.any ideas? i havent played with my tilt very much not sure which way does what. do you think i just dont have enough motor for the boat?any help greatly appreciated
