what size my mid section?

[chillywillie]

So I'm trying to get my boat set up, and everyone is telling me that my motor should sit higher than what I'm telling them. Second mounting hole from bottom on a 10" Bob's hydraulic all the way up gets me to only 2" below pad. I'm not trying to run that high but with the motor mounted that high, it should be higher.

So either the plate sits low on the transom because the bolts are low from the factory, or the motor is longer than it should be.

How can I tell what size mid I have? Can I measure it? When I bought it from Bunch I was told it was a 20" mid with 1.87 gears so I can't imagine it's anything but that.

Serial # is OG638561 if that helps.

Do you have a picture of your setup (from behind the boat) with the plate all the way UP?

Thanks Don! I didn't get any pics today, but drastically improved the boat performance by plugging up a couple of the PVS holes. Going to try plugging one more and see how she likes it.

Thanks a ton as always!
