quote t2stroke:

One other thing I don’t think anyone mentioned. Are you trimming all the way down before you take off? The trim slows down when it goes from tilt to trim , but continues down. Trimming all the way under will have a big effect on hole shot. Also check to see that someone has not moved the tilt pin out on the stern brackets so the engine can’t trim all the way down. You should have 4 holes in the stern bracket. The pin should be in the hole closest to the transom for most negative trim angle. This will help the boat’s hole shot. That boat with the console forward should not have a hole shot problem unless one of the other problems mentioned exist. IMHO

Good point Dan, always check the simple stuff first!
