I won a 2004 Charger 182 bass boat. It did not come with a motor but it was pre-rigged for Mercury. the boat was rated for a 150 hp. I purchased a 2005 Merc. 150 XR6. with a P23 prop When I take off (Trim all the way down)the front of the boat rises to a 40 to 45 degree angle and it takes a long time before it begins to come up to plane. just as the boat begins to break over it shoots out on top of the water then runs like a fine tuned sports car. If I fill one of the rear livewells it will not come out on plane. any ideas to help this problem?
