Trim tabs

I have a SV2100 cc with a 150 on the back. I recently bought the rig. To me it seems as though it struggles to get out of the water. I understand that its a heavy boat and could use more power but this is how it came from the factory so I'm thinking it should do better. Does anyone know if trim tabs would help with this? Also, when im running on plane, I get it trimmed to where I have a good and loose steering (hydraulic steering) but not long after that the bow of the boat will start to "bob" which in turn forces me to trim back down a bit. Can anyone help me with this?

Is this a trick question? I have the same boat with the same 150 hp, and with the added weight of a power pole and tower and it shoots out of the hole fast and with ease and runs 42 WOT without any proposing. It's actually the best performing bay boat I've ever owned. (Probably the reason I've kept it for 15 years while buying and selling maybe 8 or 10 other boats in that same time frame.) I added Lenco trim tabs a long time ago and wouldn't have another boat this size without them. That hull will perform well without tabs but they are the best addition you can add for the best control and performance! Something's wrong with how your boat is set up and I'm betting it's either the motor is set too high or it's got the wrong prop on it. What's your rpms at wide open throttle with it trimmed up? What's your motor make and prop size? Which mounting holes is the motor mounted in?

Sounds like a set up problem to me too.
