[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 448279, member: 3278"] [size=5]If you place the cavitation plate well above the bottom of the boat then the plate will help plane the boat and be out of the water, not creating parasitic drag, while on plane. If the plate will not be running high enough to totally clear the water flow it will do nothing but create drag since you already have the pods helping to plane the hull. Plates will not help an engine run high. Propellers have almost everything to do with allowing the engine to run high and most folks will not spend the time, money, and work it takes to get the engine up where you want or need it to run. Propeller mods, if done right, will do this but you have to establish a base line performance table and then start your mods and continually "see" where you are with your changes. Have written about this several times on here and usually afterward all we hear around here are crickets chirping........[/size] [/QUOTE]
