[QUOTE="MDCrappie, post: 499451, member: 160"] Don't bet on that. I've got a 12' Starcraft Pram with a 4hp Mercury. Transom is 15.5" and the motor shaft is 17". My anti-ventilation plate was just about in the same position. I could get 11.6mph (gps) tops solo run. I made a transom riser out of some alum plate and alum channel that would up just over 1.5" tall. My boat now runs steady in the 14's and even ticked 15mph on the gps. 3.4mph might not be a lot on some boats, but it's over 25% increase. Also the bracket is now thru bolted. I originally just screwed it on both sides to be sure it would work before I drilled the transom wood. [/QUOTE]
