That's normal. The bow will rise before the boat starts to plane. Try moving forward a bit.

You may also need to adjust the trim angle I find this makes a huge difference to small engined small boats which can be sensitive to getting on to the plane. Try setting the trim pin one hole closer to the transom and see if it helps.

Put you fuel tank at the bow, this way the tank won't be in your legs and will add a bit of weight so it will help to stabilise.

A Doel-Fin might help as well.
