[QUOTE="fishing66, post: 419701, member: 21255"] Thanks for the tip. I've seen photos where folks have done this and it is definitely on the "to do" list. I had the boat out yesterday afternoon for the first time. It did not cavitate with the motor way up, but the nose of the boat was running too high while on plane. We dropped the motor down by about 3/4 of an inch and the nose came down. Some more experimenting is needed to find the right setting. In terms of running shallow, well, I mis-read a riffle and went into the wrong fork.....the water was only three inches deep and I cringed in expectation of the dreaded "BANG!"....there may have been one tiny bump but my buddy said he felt nothing and we were in two feet of water seconds later. Too soon to say that the job came out perfect, but so far, so good. PS, smallmouths LOVE the Whopper Plopper :D [/QUOTE]
