I am going to start messing around on the set up of my boat. Current Stats:
'09 BCB Sabre with a 150 E-tec
Prop - 22P Raker 2
Motor is at 4.5" below pad
Speed at WOT 63mph
RPM 5500
WPsi 25+
Full tank, tourney load, just me in the boat.

I plan on putting the motor up to 3.5" below pad, as this is where I am told is the starting point for this motor/hull combo. What can I expect to happen when I do this? I would think that the RPM would go up, lose some WPsi and possibly gain MPH. But would like to know if my assumptions are correct and input/experiences you guys have had with setting up boats.

Once I have the height dialed in I have a somewhat beat up "Old 24" that I am going to thrown on to see what happens.

Any input would be appreciated.
