Is it capable of planing?

[russ225]

I have a 2006 Tracker Super Guide V14 with the same year 25hp Mercury 4 stroke fuel injected motor. Under “normal” operating conditions (7,500 ft elevation, approx. 700 lbs with standard equipment, 6 gal of gas, 2 batteries, and me 220 lbs) is this boat capable of getting on plane?

I know there are quite a few things that can/should be done to improve performance, but at my altitude, if optimized, does the motor have the power to push the boat up on plane?

Thanks
Russ

Yes it should have more than enough
