[QUOTE="mhinkle1990, post: 165818, member: 4248"] Im interested in putting a jack plate on my 14 foot 87 grumman. I have a 25hp 2 stroke mercury 2003 short shaft 15inch and i feel that when i run full throttle the back of the boat lifts up out of the water and pushes the bow down into the water creating a lot of draft. i figure that if i lift the motor out of the water more than it would prevent the bow from being driven into the water as much creating less draft. if i tilt the motor up and i run full throttle it is too dangerous and not easy to controll, it honestly feels like im running on 3 inches of the back of the boat and accelerating the bow is in the air way too much untill plane. i also was thinking about trim tabs....i know dont criticize but it actually would help tremendously! please give me input im new to the site and trying to get my johnny up to par!
