Default Overloaded Telemaster?

Been upset with my telemaster,77"wing believe that is the one they call the 40 says 2000 on wing.Has a old max 60 in it seems to run good.Thought maybe engine was no good,finally bought one of those nice Rapala fish scales.The thing weigh slightly over 13Lbs I have a Goldberg Cub same set up floats etc it only weighs 10Lbs.The cub is a lot lighter built than the Telemaster too.Isn't it probably just to heavy for a 60?Bought it used so don't know anything of the history and not that experienced with floats and the requirements for them.Tried Casey's idea of little more incidence may have helped a little but still takes lot of lake to get off also has flat bottom floats don't know if this pretains to anything.No way to lighten it onhly thing would be a bigger motor have a new 61FX whether that would be that much better than this old 60SR,Probably needs a 90?Thanmks for any thoughts you might have on this.
