[QUOTE="Heron, post: 479643, member: 3447"] Well I finally got the boat out and gave it a run. Early in the day with flat water the 1" rise seemed to be the ticket. I had minimal gain in top speed, maybe 1 to 1.5 mph, and it seemed to come on plane a bit sooner. But later in the day with a chop on the water and moderate waves, at top speed (20 mph) the motor would start to cavitate a bit. The motors cavitation plate is still 1/2" to 3/4" below the center rib so I was a bit surprised by this result. Think I'm going to drop it back to original and call it good. Thanks again for all the input, greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
