AV plate about even to an inch below is where most of mine sit on my boats. My Sea Nymph has a slightly shorter transom than my Alumacraft, but they’re close. The night be good for a little more speed sitting just slightly higher, but if I do that I get start to get ventilation in a turn. Here is my ’59 Evinrude Fisherman on my Sea Nymph 14R. The transom is currently out of my Alumacraft, but it sits just slightly higher.
