[QUOTE="JL8Jeff, post: 476259, member: 12995"] That looks about right to me. If you start to trim it out/up, you'll start getting a lot of spray back. The back of the foot has to sit lower than the front to help it take in water. You might be able to mount the engine 1 hole higher but my guess is that you will get more spray back and it might start to cavitate. But trial and error is needed with every setup, it took me at least 4 tries to get it set up the way I like it. But I was happy to find a jet tunnel hull which helps get the motor higher. The previous owner had a prop longshaft outboard on it when I bought the boat. [/QUOTE]
