Dinghy making it tough to plane

So I put my new 10 foot rib with 2 stroke 8hp motor on the platform with Nautly pull pull on davits.  Should be about 140 pounds.  Went out this morning and she just does not want to get on plane with the extra weight back there. Had the Mrs. go below and we got on plane.

So here's my thought. I can switch out my anchor rode for 200 feet of chain. Question is, how much chain can I fit in the locker?  And would an extra 140 pounds up front help?
