[QUOTE="typed by ben, post: 356875, member: 11717"] sounds like you have some strategies to squeeze a few more mph out. the main thing youre fighting though is gonna be the weight and probably the length of your setup, especially since you cant get on plane. but you can cut down on drag. the jackplate will do two things- move the motor up as well as back. the further back you move your motor the higher up you can bring the cavitation plate, within reason. getting the motor up and out of the water is gonna help you out on drag. you can also polish out all the nicks and dents in the prop. i cant see just how banged up it is but any wave or chunk out of the prop hurts, add em up and youve got a death of 1000 cuts. the bonus there is it costs nothing to do and it has always worked for me in the past when i was missing performance.
