[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 425300, member: 12995"] I'm easily on plane cruising at 18 mph but another thing to consider is the transom angle. I had to add transom wedges to get rid of porpoising but that also helps get on plane better. Without the wedges and the motor trimmed in all the way, the bow still wanted to rise and then would porpoise when I got over 20 mph. I ended up moving the motor up one hole at a time to see what resulted in the best cruising speed and WOT without getting too much spray back into the boat. I went 1 hole too high and got a lot of spray back and it got louder which meant it was aerating a bit as well so I had to go back down. It definitely takes some trial and error to get everything set up the way you want it. [/QUOTE]
