I will give that a shot next time with bags. That makes sense. We had 3 people in the boat including the driver. I had two people move to the bow to get it on plane, but it still took awhile. I am excited to get the new prop on as that was the only problem I noticed with the boat, but I kind of expected it anyways.
The only other thing I did not care for was the fact I could not get my wife's board to fit on the rack. It is a small board (12 and a narrow stance so the forks of the rack would not fit in between the bindings.
