Yea I sort of figured that. My boat is really heavy and slow so I'm wondering if the drive needs to be as high as a lightweight faster boat. The reason why I ask is because I'm chasing a porpoising problem.

It's a 1978 23ft SeaCraft SeaVette which is the same hull as any other 23ft SeaCraft fishing boat, just the lay out is different. It's powered by a FWC ZZ502 and weighs about 5400 lbs wet. It's very stern heavy.

U could bolt a Speedmaster II lower on there butstill not high enuff.
Everybody thinks its about the cavitationplate ????,,,,, its about the prop ,,thats whas pushing the boat !!!
You are actually pulling the stern down even more with a lower drive hight then u would with a higher one ,,,since the drive always tries to go under the boat in motion ??!!
Does that make sence to u ?? Or is my half a$$ explination not ok ?? LOL
