[QUOTE="scoobeb, post: 422442, member: 6843"] I guess my main thing is just reducing drag If anything at all. I really don't need to go much faster as 30mph is pretty darn fast on a jon boat,if I happen to pick up a couple mph then awesome, if not at least I eliminate drag. I understand less drag equals better gas mileage, how much I don't know but any little bit helps. I know the anti cavitation plate sits very low in the water due to my 300lbs in the stern and I could probably go up even more than the bottom of the boat with my weight. I have no interest in modifying my props and engine anymore than I have already by going from a 20hp carb to the 25hp carb, that's enough for me as I gained 5hp. I'm not interested in a jack plate that sets the outboard back,I just want it higher up on the transom ,that's all. [/QUOTE]
