Certainly, different hulls have different requirements. In my experience kickers are often mounted too low. Sure they can be mounted with the AV plate lined up with the boat bottom and they will work OK. But mounted higher they will work better. The prop just needs to be below the bottom.

Not trying to be argumentative - just responding to a question and trying to provide the benefit of my experience.
