[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 408697, member: 13599"] Prowler - Google "anti ventilation plate height" and you will find dozens of different variations of transom height to match a motor. Not really a formula per se, just a general rule. The anti-ventilation plate is somewhere near or a little below the bottom of the boat when your motor is in the trimmed running position. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Motor Mount.jpg"]83102._xfImport[/ATTACH] my 25hp Johnson was a long shaft on a 15" transom and it rooster tailed something terrible. I did not know why (I do NOW). Took it to the boat shop and he installed a splash plate . . . he should have known the motor was way too low . . . he is gone now, thank goodness. I am not a fan of jack plates. I would rather see the transom remade to fit the motor. [/QUOTE]
