It obviously raises a lot faster at lower speeds and as speed increases it raises slower...so what are some general rules of thumb????

one inch per foot of setback is the rule of thumb for drives height to set x dim

multiply the hypot something by the pie R squared of the square root to the 4th power with the co-sign. All I know the throttles are on the right and the gas fill is on the left. Just joking obviously, but I really can't help you.

Dude, drink some more alcohol, and then if you still want an answer, call the factory.
Let us know what they say. Only 2 EXACT boats can use the calculations for that.
Only the guy that built the boat can tell you, and even some of those guys have probably never thought to figure that one one out.
