Do you know if that is as high as the motor can be jacked up? It seems to me that it will still hang way too low to take full advantage of the awesome shallow water performance of this design.
Maybe the plate was not all the way up and I just couldn't tell in those shots.
It is one fine looking boat. And I love the engine choice.

The motor is sitting in the second hole. The jack plate(Bob's) is all the way down. This is one sweet engine. Can't even fire it up until I take it to a dealer and have it programmed. Will be running XP100 synthetic oil, so engine has to be programmed for this oil. Also will be running a 4 blade prop from power tech in Louisiana. Can't wait to get it in the water. still a couple of weeks away.

I charged the jack plate up with oil last night and ran it up and down about 20 times to get all the air out of the system. It raises 6". At full height the bottom of the skeg is flush with the bottom of the hull. If the tunnel performs as designed this bad boy should run really skinny. Anxious to see what it does myself.The next thing I have to decide is where to mount the trim button. I installed an OEM Binnacle control for this engine. Kind of dissapointed with it. Not as smooth as the one I have on my boat. My boat has 90 Mariner with QuickSilver binnacle controls. A lot smoother than the Bombardier. Once motor is programmed and running and all linkage is adjusted it may feel better. No shifter seems smooth when engine is not running under power. By the way prop is 4 blade stainless from PowerTech Marine in Louisiana.
