With that long heavy tug MJ has, a jack plate wouldn't hurt him a bit.

Thats right, a jack plat is the way to go, and even on a V (not this motor to big and heavy) a jack plate on a short bracket would help alot with getting the power head up out of the water!

30" would not scare me one bit!!

My brother has a 225 Merc on the back of a 22ft Angler Cuddy. The Angler is definetly lighter than your Sea Ox, but man that motors got some power. It pushes his Angler to 44mph - 46mph light load. Its just a power house of a motor.

belive it or not, I have a 175 Merc, and with 2 people and 110 gal gas I curz all day at 25 knots, and toped out with triming at 33 knots.

Drove out 20 miles and back 25 miles trolling all day in between, total of 6 1/2 hours running never shuting it down, for $34 of gas!!
