[QUOTE="Taxin_That_Bass, post: 466870, member: 22527"] I have tried it 1.5" above the bottom of the hull and I loose speed. I lowered it to about 0.75" above the hull and i'm getting about the same speed i got with out the trim kit, which is about 25 to 26mph with a 10.5x11 aluminum solas prop. I have a lot of weight in the front of my boat due to a big plywood casting deck, trollin gmotor, tackle, ect. I'm sure if i distributed the weight back a little more it would help. I turn about 5400 rpm. I am thinking about a SS prop in a 12 or 13 pitch. I have a 13 pitch aluminum prop that i could only turn about 4700 rpm. I have read that some guys will go up a pitch or two with a stainless. [/QUOTE]
