[QUOTE="Taxin_That_Bass, post: 466896, member: 22527"] Interesting comments. When i had the motor raised up as high as i could (cav plate about 1.5" above the bottom of the hull) i could only turn about 5200 rpm and i lost a little speed (24.5 mph), hole shot seemed not as good but i wasn't blowing out from what i could tell. I lowered it to about 3/4 inch above the bottom of the hull and I gain rpm to 5400 and a little speed (25.5). When i had the motor mounted without the trim plate and about an inch below the bottom of the hull i would get about 5400 rpm and 25.5 mph. so far the set back and raising the motor hasn't helped my speed situation. pertaining to stainless props, i have read threads on here where guys went to a stainless and had to go up a pitch or two and go significant performance gains. I will see if i can dig up the thread [/QUOTE]
