[QUOTE="TNtroller, post: 359862, member: 4251"] IMO, the 25 should make that hull fly, but it's apparently a heavy hull. Going to stick steer will be a major change in weight distribution but the cav plate is causing a lot of drag being a long shaft motor on a short shaft hull. You could build a "riser" from some aluminum plate with plastic cutting boards as filler material and bolt it all on the transom, you will just need to figure out the height of the riser to get the cav plate even with the drain hole on the transom or above it. the tilt/trim will affect how the boat runs, so you need to consider that into the mix as well.
