1993 HydraSport vs150 with a 150HP Johnson OB.
Whenever I try to go to full throttle, the bow lifts so high that I couldn't possibly see forward without standing.
I've trimmed to the point of nearly lifting the prop out and still not coming down.
Am I doing something wrong??
The previous owner told me about hitting it at full throttle and not having a problem.
I'm fairly new to trimmable engines so maybe I'm just not bringing it on plane properly?
Any help greatly appreciated.
TIA.
Trim all the way down, go full throttle, when the bow comes down, start trimming up.

If im reading you right you're doing the opposite of what you should be.Originally Posted by FTCat
Start out trimmed all the way down. Once you get on plane, then you start trimming up.
Dont trim up too high once you're running, your roostertail should be no higher than your cowling.
That VS 150 is a fairly light, fast boat, if you aren't used to power trim and quick boats take your time learning how it runs.
Trim down when making sharper turns, and when you're coming to a stop.
Post some pics if you can.
This is the best pic I have on my computer right now.
It's in for maintenance but I plan on getting some better pics when it returns.
Yeah, I've noticed that this thing has some serious power.
Plan is to take it out alone and pretty much give myself driving lessons.
