    Boats stands straight up at take off

    I have a 2019 F205 with 250 Four stroke with Firy 23P. 6 in Atlas jack plate. When I take off boat stands straight up but planes fairly quickly unless live wells are full then it takes a little longer. As boat sets down the rpms go from 5 to 6 like the props slipping then it grabs. I lowered jack plate 1/2” and the slip got better but it still wants to slip a little. Anyone else having this issue?

    The 205 goes a little more nose up before it breaks over. Play with the jackplate level. Also, try a 4 blade prop. The more weight you have in the rear of the boat the worse it gets. I run a G2 and mine got better opening the vents fully and raising the jackplate. Every one is a little different. Mine hole shot is maybe 2-3 seconds.

    Mine does the same thing but only for a second, then the nose drops and its off to the races. Merc V8, Atlas w: hole shot plate. Fury 4, 24 pitch. Mine doesn't actually stand "straight up" but the bow rises like its going to but than drops quickly.
