[QUOTE="madbasser, post: 149063, member: 3474"] I have an old Alumacraft from 54 i believe (at least that's what the title says). Its a 12' semi V with a transom length of about 50" and height of 16". I have a 9.5hp Evinrude from 69' short shaft and if im measuring correctly it is 18" from the were the transom hits the mounting bracket to the cavitation plate. The boat moves ok, but does not plane. What would be the best trim angle to get the best performance and should i raise the motor a bit? Also does anyone know were to find the "hull" number on these boats? Is it stamped on the aluminum anywhere? I replaced the transom board and found no ID plate. Did these boats have model names or numbers? Mine just says "Aluma Craft Queen of the Water". [/QUOTE]
