Was the boat loaded the same? Just moving the same weight around in the boat can make a big difference sometimes.

Re: Going on Plane trouble

Could be one of many things. You need to give any and all symptoms.
Giving your motor a general health check will help diagnose any issues you have.
Compression, Spark, Fuel delivery and plug condition to begin with.
