I just rebuilt and installed this 70 hp, 1990 Johnson VRO on my 1989 sport 15. Previous motor was a Evinrude 48 SPL. Used same transom motor mount holes. The bottom of the anti ventilation plate on the 70 hp is 1/2 inch below the bottom of the boat. Thought about moving it up, but would have to redrill bottom holes. If I move it up one hole on bracket, I go up 5/8 inch. Any thoughts on this? I think if I am slightly higher than bottom of the boat, I should be ok.
More photos are on my personal page, "Everglades Whaler"
