Hello I'm new here. I've been studying build over the last couple years but after buying a triton bass boat I've put my Lowe 1467wt on the back burner for a few years now. Due to the original 5hp short shaft mercury prop being barely in the water, I figured I needed a long shaft motor when I bought my new mercury 9.9 4 stroke in 2014. With this set up I've noticed that my anti cavitation plate is about 4 inches below the hull. When loaded with 2 guys and gear around 400lbs I've noticed if I trim the motor to the 3rd trim position and the front seat passenger sits in the bottom of the hull at the bow it basically doubles the top end speed and has much better controll. How much will an adjustable jackplate help my case if any?
