    Just curious about anyone who has run a similar setup, I have a 5" jack on the back, I own a 30 bravo, 30 hill signature drag 4, and a 3 blade 30 chop, I was going to try the drag 4 first, where would you have the engine height and which prop do you think will do best, motor has a 1.62 sporty and 15" mid with side ram steering?

    Running a Sporty the Formula for setting the engine height is the same as any other... Jack it up until it looses water pressure then drop back down a little bit... 1/8" - 1/4"

    Will,

    Take the lip off and start even with the pad gets my vote. That is what we did with my XB03 and had great results. Mike Rakes is another example of the same with his 4 stroke yamaha having a best of 107 on his XB02 now. Please wear a jacket "ALWAYS"
