[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 488783, member: 22613"] Keep in mind that with the added setback of a jack plate you may need to go higher than you think. I second what Dale said about a hydrofoil. I had a 14' Alumacraft with a heavy 25hp Johnson on the back. Without one you could only run in the lowest trim pin and it would porpoise horribly at more than half throttle. Move the trim pin up and you were staring at the clouds. A hydrofoil totally changed that boat, handled like it was on rails and it would run about 30mph wide open. [/QUOTE]
