I'm up one hole and it seems great......probably not worth bringing all the way back to dealer to go up one more hole, no?
Only you can decide whether it's worth it, but you have a beautiful boat with a brand new motor - don't you want it to perform as well as it possibly can? It's either going to be right or wrong for the life of the boat.
I think the advice was to come up two holes, not one, but I can't speak to that. If you post a question on mounting height for a Montauk someone with the same setup will help, I'm sure.
You can raise the motor yourself quite easily if you're reasonably handy.
Do you have a good stainless prop on there? If not that's another thing to make sure you get right, and then enjoy for the life of the boat.
