I run +2 1/4 on my LTV and Bullet, but have to run 4 blades, with a full 14 1/2 diameter.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you send your lower to be coned? What is the approximate cost without straightening the propshaft? I think that's the next step on mine.

That’s not too bad for parts and labor. I’m in Texas so shipping would be very expensive…

put it higher if you have time now and lower the jackplate so you dont have to unbolt the motor tomorrow! Propshaft center line even with the bottom of the pad is the lowest you will go, likely higher.

RJ is right. Hang the motor higher and drop your plate. Going for top speed you won't be below prop shaft CL even with pad. I'm running 7/8" above. 28 big ear should run pretty dang good. I like a chopper on my hull as well, but an ET still runs better for me.

Moved the engine all the way up and now the prop shaft centerline is 1/4 above the pad. The boat handles and performs so much better than I could have even imagined. All of the previous issues with propeller torque leaning the boat are gone and it flies center on the pad. Even a lot of the chine walk has clamed down. No top speed runs yet, it was bad weather on my first test run and the sprinkling rain hurts at speed lol
