I removed a 20" 1999 merc 60 hp 2s off of my dad's 18.5' alum bass tracker and put a 2000 honda 90 hp 4s in it's place.... we had to mount the engine in it's highest possible position and I'd like it to be an inch higher... the merc was two holes from the top and cavitated if moved up.
moving two out of three bats along with the onboard charger to the front and mounting an anchor winch on the front made a HUGE difference..... look into moving as much weight as far forward as possible before moving the engine though I suspect that you'll end up raising it in the end. |

You can take a couple friends along on a test run to test if moving weight forward will help...but I would think you are going to have to move the motor up some.
My buddy has to use the throttle blip method to keep the wake from comming into the boat when he comes off plane in his 18' Nitro Bass boat.
