[QUOTE="muddywaders, post: 389676, member: 13234"] A big enough dent in the bottom of your hull will cause ventilation.16 3/4" is a bit high for a shortshaft.Did someone add material to the the transom?Is it possible to lower it without cutting?If not you may need a bracket or Jackplate.I have done some experimenting with motor height and found that the highest position before it just starts to ventilate will yield the highest speeds.Even one inch of length will slow the boat.Not sure of the physics but it must be something other than just the extra resistance of a small piece of midsection below the waterline.
