This is a prime example about the importance of dialing best engine/transom height to optimize combo's performance under all water cond. Do you find this engine set-up correct, will combo achieve, good, excellent, lousy water performance if tested on water? see any flaws, inconsistencies somewhere ?
Everybody talks about prop slip, rpm, pitches, best hole shot, etc. All that data comes into play nicely afterwords best engine/transom height is dialed. Best propulsion = Best performance.
Scenario :
2 stroke Merc 150 HP powering a Four Winns 18 footer for OB use. Don't ask about wot rpm, hole shot, top speed, overall performance, this combo is under dry evaluation right where combo is parked. This combo was rigged by a local "20 year expert boat/engine dealer"
