[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 264548, member: 6694"] Trimming the motor as close to the transom will definitely help with that little motor. I had a 5 hp on my 16' semi-v and if I moved the pin just one extra notch out from the transom, my speed really went down (with identical load and placement). You might want to try a spacer under the motor mount to raise is up a couple of inches, as that should help too. The cavitation plate should be near to the same level as the bottom of your transom.
