    15" mids on shadow bass boats.

    Anyone got a pic of a 15" on a shadow? Is the transom set up for this?

    trying to get the motor height right on a shadow and it seems like the 20" is three feet in the air LOL. We're these boats built with a 15" in mind or where they not expecting people to be 1.5" above and higher??

    They didn't have 15 when the Shadow came out.Dont see why the motor would need to be so high

    It needs to be that high for best performance with our set-up we are as high as we can go now and it's finally starting to loosen up and run but it needs to keep coming up.

    2.4 200 w/28cc heads etc
    coned 1.87
    12" set back
    29 performer b4c worked


    got up to high 70's and it started loosening up, bumped trim a little more and nose grabs. Needs to have LU higher so less trim is needed.

    Without the nose cone and 6" back it just wouldn't drive right in the high 70's.

    We would lose water pressure right when it started to feel right, needs less prop but I skip a bunch of steps in the props I have that work right now.

    All my et's are 20/22/24 then I'm at 28 , I have a couple 26's that need work that I'm getting fixed I'm sure the 26 will be better depending. On motor height.
