boat won't get up on plane
Getting on plane. the smaller the boat, the more effect crew positioning will have on the boat's ability to plane. if everyone sits on one side, the boat will not ride level; if all the crew rides in the aft cockpit, the stern will be depressed, and getting the boat up onto plane may be impossible. passengers should be evenly distributed.. Similar to the other regal rush xp i can't get my 1995 regal rush xp w/120hp sport jet to plane off. it just plows water at about 5mphs after a minute or so it will set up on plane and then will get upwards of 42mphs. i am curious if this could still be the same problem with the ride plate gasket or am i looking at a different issue.. So the answer to our dinghy won’t plane problem was to inflate the tubes more. overall it takes me about 7min to pump the boat up. reply. jake february 26, 2014 at 12:10 pm. i have the exact same experience. i have a west marine 8.5′ rib. simply wouldn’t plane. one time i pumped it ip a bit more because i was talking to someone while. 
boat won't get up on plane Man, that 60 horse should plane that thing off no problem. i do know on my yamaha, when you want to trim it down, it seems like it takes forever for it to trim all the way down past the tilt position. but if you don't do it, the boat won't plane off very fast either. i would just make sure it is trimmed down all the way to your stop..
