[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 209102, member: 4585"] I would suggest that even if u do get a short shaft you still use the mini jacker. U can really dial in the motor position with it. I GPS out at 31 mph wide open and can cruise on plane anywhere from 15 mph on up with 2 people 2 batteries. And a cooler plus fishing gear. 3 people a cooler no fishing gear I'm at 28 mph. Once I had 4 adults and a cooler plus batteries and some gear and cruised on plane at 18 and topped out at 25mph. That was over the listed capacity in weight and it handled fine. No problems. After looking at the motor position it could be raised another inch or so. The angle is decieving the cavitation plate is really an inch below the hull. My original post about it I said the cav plate was above. I was wrong. For the price of the motor I am still happy. The mini jacker works great and I don't think one inch is going to get me All that much faster. 31mph is fast enough anyway. [/QUOTE]
