[QUOTE="Bowhunter1661, post: 390214, member: 9937"] I have a Lowe 1440. My current motor is a 1988 Johnson 25. At this time my motor is raised off the transom a 1/2". This puts my anti vent plate dead even with the bottom of the hull. I have not been able to check where the motor rides on the water when cruising due to the fact last time I was out there were 3' waves on Lake Michigan so I couldn't really turn to look. (Though I did turn back to the harbor shortly after spearing a few waves..) . IMO, it is more a matter of on plane cruising and where your anti vent plates sits while on plane. If you have a stern heavy boat you may need to have it higher up due to the stern sagging deeper into the water. My boat sits almost perfectly level with the TM battery under my front deck. [/QUOTE]
