2002 FunDeck 115 Yamaha 4 stroke holeshot

I just bought a very nice used 2002 Hurricane 188 FunDeck with a Yamaha 115 4 stroke. Now granted I'm used to 468 Chevy 120 mph ski boats so maybe my expectations are too much but with just 2 people onboard, this seems to take forever to get up on a plane. The prop is a S/S 3 blade stamped 17-K. There are no trim tabs (would these help?) I even have a heavy trolling motor battery mounted up front. I fish inshore in SW FL and there's lots of shallow water. I can't take 10 seconds with motor trimmed in dragging my **** to get on a plane. And there is no way I could pull a skier up like this. Any Ideas or am I expecting too much? Thanks

Looks like Yamaha recommends

I know this a late response but I have the same boat and can confirm that getting on plane takes a bit. Pulling tubes or having a full load is painful.

You could check with your engine manufacturer - performance data for assistance in dialing this in further. https://yamahaoutboards.com/owner-center/performance-bulletins
