[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 436695, member: 13140"] I can milk 34 out it. It ran 28 when I bought it. It let me go from a 15 to 17 pitch prop. This is on a 550 lbs 18' hull. It's rated for an 80. I mention that because it adds weight. The unit weighs 30-40 lbs and your moving the whole motor back. If your on a small boat and are already heavy in the stern then don't do it. The setback lets you run the motor higher and in clean water. It also pushes the boat without having to push down to lift the boat. It's a straighter prop wash. The leverage on the rear makes it turn on a dime at slow speeds. I can't think of a single thing about it that I don't like better but I don't think my old 16' with about the same motor would have liked the extra weight. Most boats on here are smaller so I point that out. On a smaller boat a home brew bracket out of 1/4" aluminum angel that raised the motor an inch and back 2 or 3" might be a worthwhile little project. [/QUOTE]
