[QUOTE="airshot, post: 492088, member: 1183"] A jack plate can make a difference but not enough to justify the cost on a smaller motor. Didnt know if tou had a power trim or not, but needed to throw that in as you are looking for peak performance. With your vent plate parallel to bottom of the boat, that vent plate should be even or slightly above the boat bottom. With a good prop and a tach, you should be good to go. I have mine set up to run about 100 rpm above max rpm with just me in it. I never run wot for long periods of time anyway. With that set up, I only loose about 1 or 2 mph with a passenger an extra fishing gear [/QUOTE]
