This is my first ever post, so let me know if I'm doing things wrong.
I brought my first ever boat this summer. A 17 foot '95 Capri 1700 bowrider with a '95 125hp Merc outboard.
My question is,
I feel that the boat needs to get onto a plane at a slower speed. For example when I'm pulling my wife on a wakeboard and the boat gets onto a plane, it's too fast so i slow down to a speed that comfortable for her and the nose comes up and it feels like I'm struggling through the water.
I then increase the trottle and as it comes onto the plane again, she wants it a bit slower.
Is there a way to make it come onto a plane at a lower speed??
Thanks for your time

Yes, we are in the middle of summer here now.
