Location: north central wisconsin | yes, my motor is max, but underpowered greatly. The hull itself is rated for a 175 if a console...
I was told that moving the motor down would give me a better hole shot. Really hasn't changed much other than I seem to not porpoise as much nor does it blow out on a turn now trimmed down.
Matt, do you have the little set back in your boat, ie does your transom come down then go back and drop to where the plugs and then keel/actual bottom of boat are? When I had the motor on the top set of holes the plate was even with the bottom of the transome where the motor is mounted, but not even with the keel as it is now on the second hole up. It is a long shaft I beleive. We tried the 4 blade at the top set of holes and it wasn't so good.
Anyhow, I think I'll play with a different prop first. that shimming idea is good and I actually asked my partner yesterday if he thought it would be possible to do it. I don't want to mess with something after market that could screw something up.
Thanks.
