Alright, picked up this 75 ski barge for next to nothing and put my 85 horse on it and now I've got issues. First off, the motor on it was a short shaft and my motor is a long shaft so I had to build the bracket you see in the pics to raise my motor. Could have gotten a jack plate but did this for $25. Anyways, I put it in the water and it planes out around 15mph and cruises good up to 25 mph. Anything thing over 25mph causes the front of the boat to sit back in the water. I've tilt/trimmed it every which way and the same issue. The more throttle, the more the front sits. Any ideas what would cause this issue? Here's some pics of how my motor is sitting right now.
