May just not be enough motor
That's probably true but it should eventually get on plane with the right prop…. I'm not familiar with the whale tails mentioned above but some smart dudes recommended them so I'd give that a try as well… I used to call them manatee filleters when I saw them on small boats in FL.

Can you describe how the boat runs in a bit more detail? Does the bow raise up as you give it gas or does it plow the whole time? If you've got a buddy sitting further Fwd does it eventually plane off?

It gets closer when someone sits on the front deck
