Good deal budys!
Cat plate seemed to be about a half to an inch out of the water on flat plane. I'll find out for sure this weekend.
OK, that does sound like it is high enough to cause the problem. Still measure to compare.
It does have elect. Trim and the way these rigs are set up you have no choice but to put all three batterys and the rest of the heavy stuff in the back
So, I assume that means the waterline is half way up your transom. Having elec trim should make launching a non-issue. Trim all the way in for launch, once on plane trim out for speed. Trim in some before making sharp turns.
Any ideas on a good jack plate? The one I've been looking at have a 6inch setback and I believe 4 in of vertical adjustment for 400.
For that kind of money, with the additional weight, would think long and hard if I could live with the trim adjusting. Even so, given you have the power trim, a fixed jack plate would probably suffice. Just have to find the sweet spot.
Really appreciate yalls time
