Default Boat looses plane?

Jason... You are either angling the engine is the wrong direction, or your boat
has developed a hook in its hull.

Joe, could it be related to the "short shaft"? If the shaft is too
short for his transom, he'll aspirate the prop as the boat settles
down. The fins he added would likely compound the problem when they
lifted the stern. Just curious.
BTW- thanks for MANY helpful and informative posts.
