Thats why the cav plate is to be even with the bottom of the boat, the boat blocks alot of the drag you are speaking about. There is going to be drag no matter what you do!!!! So suck it up and enjoy!

Sounds pretty perfect to me...raising it any more MAY cause you to have more cavitation problems when turning at slower speeds.

I think the drag of the motor would put rearward pressure on the motor opposite of the foreward pressure of the thrust from the prop.
