I was beyond impressed with the performance difference. It is amazing that an extremely small change in hieght could make that much of a difference, It increased my W.O.T. RPM's, crusing speed, top speed and improved the overall handling. 1963 13' Sport 50hp Evinrude Maintaining a level of sanity that is socially acceptable

Make sure you have a good stainless prop for this setup. My spare aluminum prop will blow out in a turn at higher speeds with the motor this high. 1970 custom 16 with 1999 Merc 2 stroke 90hp
