Is the motor height going to be an issue?

[QUOTE="S.E.R.E.NITY NOW, post: 513929, member: 35499"] So I got the boat out today to test things and do the break in on the 9.9 here's how it performed with the 1 inch lift. So the cavitation plate sits 1.5" below the transom. Just me in the boat. Could not get on plane unless the motor was trimmed all the way down. Steering was heavy but not unmanageable and it wants to pull to the right. Trim tab adjustment? No water splashed in from the motor, just from my transducer I had mounted to low was throwing a rooster tail when on plane. When on plane it maxed out at 20.9 MPH but it took about 6-7 seconds to get on plane. Not sure how that compares to other boats with similar characteristics. I have a baseline now at least so if I make changes I guess I'll know I'd they're an improvement or not. I think I'm going to raise it up the next 1.5" Is there any benefit to moving the engine back like a jack plate would do? [/QUOTE]
