What sort of boat do you have?

4.85m fiberglass with 90hp yam 4s

What boat exactly? Trim tabs and/or foil will only hide the symptoms but won't address the cause. You've got a weight balance issue, fuel tank, battery/s, eskies, whatever you can shift forwards or add forward of centre the better

Nothing I can move. I filled sandbags and put them in front and still the same. How much weight would matter?

Did you check the max rating size for your engine for boat

Of course. 90HP. The dealer fitted it and optioned it. But it looks I am actually the first customer although they told me then that they had others.
