Just saw this thread . . .
My old boat had an interesting past, which some of you already know. Before I acquired her, she had sunk and and had another motor mounted. The "new" motor had a shorter foot, so they cut down the transom. When that motor went south, they mounted another with the correct foot . . . but because of the cut the new foot was too long. ::) That combination produced a heckofalotta spray, didn't seem to affect performance although it may have a little. To make a short story long, make sure your motor/foot/mount height is correct.

Happy ending for me at least: rebuilt transom and new motor with correct length foot = no rooster tails or spray! :)
