E-mailed a friend about trying a Renegade prop. He has access of a 6" hi-Jacker jackplate. I have raised the motor up approx 1" little change. Would adding a 6" jackplate make the difference from 52-54 up to 60-62 @ 52-5600 rpm (Guessing speeds and rpms).

Not a fan of the Hi-jackers. Look for something better. A Rapid Jack would be a good choice.
Fred, I really am not looking to purchase a jack plate. I just asked this friend if he had a variety of props I might be able to try to find one that might add to the performance of my boat.

i plate will help, but i dont think it alone will get you from low to mid 50's to low to mid 60's, also..you'll get less top end with that 4 blade Renagade prop.

no, JeffA I have a 3 blade Raker prop. It was a 14 1/2 X 24P reworked to approx. 25P
oh, thought you said you were lookin to try a friends Renagade prop? just sayin, the gade will be slower then the Raker.

Butt it may lift the Azz of that 283. They are about as easy to set up as a Champion 204.
yeah, my 273 handled better with the Renagade prop, but was 2-3 MPH slower then my Raker.
