@ RidgeRunner: I looked in your gallery last night and your boat looks fantastic. Sounds like it goes as good as it looks.
I'm putting the motor on a jack plate this week. Is there any reason for running a low water pickup if I do this? With your familiarity with this boat, what pitfalls should I look out for?
Also, after reading through the 50+ thread, it sounds like you have a significant familiarity with props. I'm turning a stainless 19p, brand unknown, the leading, trailing, and prop tips are a little banged up. Any prop suggestions for the 225 if I'm looking for a bit more speed?
I hit 44 knots with most of a full tank of fuel (60 gals) another guy + fishing stuff at 5600 RPM. Not sure that I was fully trimmed out either; motor bow up with a touch of trim tab bow down. Flat water with 15-20 mph breeze on the beam.
