I have a 1432 Lowe jon boat..I installed a deck over most of the useable space..The 18 Hp [long shaft ] is to long to push the boat this up in the front with out going on over.
I have raised the motor3 or 4 inches by buying a jack plate with a 3 inch set back....Now boat sitting level on the the prop is about dead even with the bottom...Am I going in the direction ... tne motor can be set back a couple of inches back [5 in ] fairly easy job Raising the motor might be a little harder..Any thoughts on my situation ??
Thank you ........................
