I have a vl-485 I was wondering if anyone was running one with jackplate or somebody who knows how these boats like to run. I have a 01 150hp yamaha vmax on it. I would like to know setback,prop height to transom and speed with a older 200hp on it or newer 150hp. My guess is these motors put out about the same hp.(1984 200hp vs. 2001 150hp) Also I have been told that these boats with the old 200hp on them would run 75mph gps. Anyone know if that's true. I had a old 1983 150hp evinrude on it and now have this 01 on it. I gain only 7mph and still can't get this thing setup right. I have tired prop to pad 3'' and up. So my problem with my boat is when ever I try to trim it up to get out more of the hull out of the water it just won't go up. I get this really weird looking rooster tail but no boat lift.
Sorry for long post.
