[QUOTE="jetswu87, post: 356961, member: 14547"] Thanks for the replies! Figure I'd share what i did today. I raised the motor with a 1"x1" wood board, which measured about 1.25". Depending how the trim pin the motor was even or an inch below the hull. I adjusted the valves, they were all tight. After this i took the boat out and grabbed my neighbor for a passenger to simulate my normal run. This made absolutely no change in the boat, same results 7.5mph with both of us in the back seats, 8.5 with one of us on the bow. I even moved forward in front of the console while driving and it remained the same per GPS. I moved the Trim pin from one hole to another with little to no change. The tach stopped working so no comparison there, but given the speed i don't believe it was more then 4k like before. If i get a new prop should i stay with the 9x9? If i can get this setup to plane I fully believe it'll do double digits. I may get the 15hp carb, but thats $200 that could go towards a gps fish finder :) [/QUOTE]
