I have a Lund Angler 1700 tiller with a 60hp. Little lighter Of a boat but with 4 batteries; 4hp kicker; bow mount and enough gear on board to open a tackle shop; I’ve never had an issue getting on plane. Runs at 27 mph consistently.
I suspect when you finish the break in period; get the engine running at the proper RPM and find the sweet spot for the weight balance; should be able to get on plane... won’t be quick but should be able to make it happen. Of course a bigger motor would be best.
