[QUOTE="nlester, post: 269172, member: 8483"] Thanks - By putting the pin in the second hole from the bottom, instead of the bottom hole, it let me move the propeller 1/2 hole closer to the boat. This got the results I wanted. My boat sits almost the same under power as it does sitting still. Normally, I keep in the leeward arm of the lake on days like today but I went out in the open lake. In a 10+ mph head wind, my bow barely lifted, I got a lot of spray but still had enough freeboard at the stern to feel comfortable. An easy solution for something I was trying to make complex. By keeping it simple, it still lets me strip down my boat, put it on a dolly and put it in the water where there are no ramps. None of my changes are permanent. It is still a plain 10' jon boat when I need it. [/QUOTE]
