    General jackplate/setback articles?

    As I understand it raising the engine increases top speed but hurts hole shot. Setting the engine back will increase bite to make up for the loss of hole shot.

    How much is to much setback?

    Are there any general articles on the subject.

    As I understand from the Bass and Walleye boat Magazine article on the project Bullet to much set back produces to much bow lift......

    Re: General jackplate/setback articles? (HydraSports)

    Bass & Walleye Boats magazine, April 2005 issue has an article that will help answer your questions about engine height and engine set back. If you can't find this issue or article online I would be happy to make a copy of the article and send it to you.
