Thanks Tom. I have numerous things going on all at once with my boat. One is going from a stationary bracket with no power trim/tilt to one with power T&T. My motor does have the old and standard aluminum prop, I have 2 and both are perfect. I don't have the numbers in front of me but could get them quick if it would help.
I do agree with your advice to try it as it is however, these changes will be easy this winter while the motor is off and the hull is under cover while being refurbed. Plugging holes, drilling new ones and adding and plugging drains or even jack plates will be best done now if there is a better set up.
I suppose that my hope of doing it all now and getting it dialed in just right the first time is a pipe dream but it sounds good to me and getting it close will be a good start.

One excellent advantage I have over who ever set this boat up 36 years ago is the collective wisdom of WC and all those who have done the experiments and had success. I do have to stick with the 1984 Evinrude V4 90 but I am pretty sure there are some modifications that have been proven by many of our members.

Do you think starting another topic and asking about modifications might be a good idea?
