wont plane

[little falls]

im new to boating and im having trouble getting my boat to plane out !! its a 14 foot crestliner tri hull with a mercury 500 thunderbolt 50hp and a 12 pitch prop. a squirle got underneeth the floor and chewed up alot of the foam in the back end. should i replace it with that spray foam ? would that help me plane out or should i try something else? (ie diff prop or a hydrofoil) any help would be great!!<br />thanks

Re: wont plane

The foam wont effect the planning.You can start with a compression test of the motor and be sure you are firing on all cylinders.Next would try the prop.
