I don't expect it to jump on plane right away just want it to be on plane quicker than it is now. Thanks for all the suggestions guys. This is why I really love this sight.
A hydrofoil is nothing more than a bandaid for a prop issue. A jack plate will not help much either. It is all about the prop. The lazer props have ALOT of rake therefore making it harder for the motor to spin the prop on holeshot. On another note,slow holeshot and 5,900 rpm's don't sound right. Usually when you have a bad holeshot you would be down on rpm's. Regardless I would get another prop instead of the lazer. Call the prop shop in lafayette 235-5761 I used to work there,good people they will get you fixed up.
