Default Engine height question for V21

The cavitation plate is below water except when fully trimmed up running a WOT test.
Then it's just about even or above.

So question is, would therefore be worthwhile to move it up the remaining hole ?

Marina thought I shouldn't have gone up the 1 hole higher, but it turned out fine.

Boat runs just about 50.0 mph / 5,600rpm run light, scaly 6" chop, bimini down.
That's trimmed out all the way...........just before losing bite.

Most advanced riggers will suggest cav plate should be even to slightly above water without having to be trimmed up to maximum, while " old school" says that's too high.
