191 Islander wont plane off

[caprphilly1950]

191 wont come up on plane. no interior water problem. trim seems fine. 120hp 4 banger runs good. hung 10hp Yammy 4 stroke off back weighs about 150 lbs only 1/4 tank fuel when tested. any ideas? I'm stumpped!

This 191 Islander?

Replace Starcraft 191 main deck

I'm taking up the deck that is somewhat rotted in my 19 foot Starcraft Islander. Center section in front of the engine came right up with a few screws the other two port and starboard pieces of plywood I don't seem to see any screws that hold them down, can anyone give me an idea that's how...

Already gutted and rebuilt?

no. not gutted but have half the deck up on portside foam exposed, took out a couple of foam samples checking for water logged foam. was dry in good shape. was some h2o in bilge but not excessive.

Yeah it was all trimmed up all that stuff was good that's why it's such a baffling thing!

If everything was fine and now it's not then most likely a loss of power due to weak spark or fuel system restriction. Changing fuel filter and tune up should help.

I think you mean trimmed down or in fully to get it to plane?
