[QUOTE="turbotodd, post: 417577, member: 7376"] It is all trial and error, even with the bigger boats. One boat might like 6" of setback and 8" of lift, exact same boat and motor might only like 9" of lift. That's why there's nothing but a "general rule of thumb". Every boat is loaded and driven differently. Every hull is different. Even my hull is slightly different than my friend's and they're supposed to be exactly the same boat. Some boaters want the motor deep so that they can keep the throttle pinned while in a slight turn. Other boaters want every last .01 mph out of their rig. Then another boater might like to run his higher than it should be for that big 30' tall rooster tail like the guy I seen this morning. [/QUOTE]
