[QUOTE="catmansteve, post: 275133, member: 8490"] Well Ricky Bobby, I was running an almost identical motor (66 Evinrude 18hp) on my 14' mod v and mine topped out between 21-24 mph with two people, depending on how much of a load I was carrying. My boat didn't have much plywood, just two small decks, so my boat was probably lighter than yours. I had a 1" spacer on my 17" transom, I found this produced the highest speeds without ventilation. If you do build a jackplate, I recommend incorporating a few inches setback into it, this will allow you to raise the motor higher, reducing the amount of drag [/QUOTE]
