[QUOTE="LonLB, post: 231992, member: 4391"] Like I mentioned before the problem is the lack of transmission. If not for that you could port heavily, and dealing with the shifted UP powerband wouldn't be that big a deal. As for the OP, keep in mind, anything you do to the BOAT to gain speed will make you use less fuel as well. Not sure how jet outboards would react to a jackplate.....Maybe would make no difference. On a propped boat, a hydraulic jackplate, and small trim tabs would get you out of the hole and on plane much faster, and cheaper than engine work. Especially on a heavy boat. [/QUOTE]
