I have a 1980 Skeeter 16ft bass boat, I think its a Wrangler. I bought it from a private owner. The boat has a 1977 140hp Johnson on it. I think this motor may be to heavy. I have a hard time getting it to plane with me and my gear in the boat. Once it does plane out, it porpoises a lot. When I put everything up front with another person or some dead weight it seems to do better, planeing out quicker and less porpoising at WOT. I know a hydrolfoil would help but I'm wondering if the motor is to heavy and what may have been the original motor.
