Planing Issues with 350 MAG MPI

[ZekeLI]

The Facts:
2003 Rinker 270 Fiesta Vee
350 MAG MPI (Single Screw)
Bravo III with 22P dual counter rotating props
Weight 7350 lbs Dry
Full Gas tank (100 gals)
Full Water tank (33 gals)
Full Waste tank (27 gals) ewww

Add:
6 adults for 1100 lbs
4 children for another 200 lbs
add a few coolers and another 100 lbs

My question in how long should it take to get up on plane with the weight distributed on the bow and at the helm and side bench port side besides the helm and trim tabs down for bow up?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

A single 350?? 5-7min. (j/k) You're at around 10.3-10.5K lbs. Even with the B3, she's gonna take a while gettin' up. The tabs will push the bow down, but will scrub alot of speed as well.

Yes single screw. I am having a very hard time gettin er up and some times not being able to get on plane. I noticed my swim platform sits about an inch in the water at rest and digs in creating a ton of drag while taking off. I wonder could that be preventing her from getting on plane when adding the extra weight on the boat?

Possibly. Do you know where I can find some specs on my set up and recommended carry weight?

Thanks!
