Can someone tell me where to find the article on raising an engine? I did a search but couldn't find it.
Thanks

I'll have to say, I just did this and it was one of the simplest things you can do. 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.

Like Turpin said great results, I can get 44mph, Very simple to do if your boat is on a trailer, look at the last pic on my personal page. 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.
