Troll,
I had a 2004 170CC with a 60HP 4 stroke Yamaha. My boat would get on plane fine without moving to the bow. If the motor is trimmed all the way down and you put the trottle all the way forward I cannot imagine why your boat/motor will not get on plane unless its overloaded with people,gear,etc. I'm like NC Angler, trim tabs or hydrofoils are and should be an option. When I see a "whaletail" on an outboard motor the first thing I think is its an underpowered boat. Just my 2 cents!!
