[QUOTE="catmansteve, post: 258840, member: 8490"] Thanks gators. Yeah, she moves pretty good, 24mph by myself with the boat empty. I've actually decided against raising the motor now, but what I did was make two plates about 10" by 16" out of 1/8" aluminum, drill a series of holes to match the bolts in my transom, and cut a couple different size blocks of wood of different heights to fill in between the plates. But, after trying heights of 1/2", 1", 2", and 3" I've found it runs best at 1/2", so I took the plates off and just used a block of wood laid across the top of the transom for a shim [/QUOTE]
