    Buc, I also had my tilt pin out one notch on the 59 Fisherman on my boat. That’s usually where I run them. I dont think it will make matters worse. Having the A/V plate parallel to the bottom of the boat should be nearly ideal. Mine is just less than 2" below the bottom of the boat also. The ballast bag in the bow will help a lot. My boat will plane off that way with most of my 5.5s and no problem at all with a 7.5. I’ll be looking for your report back when you get a chance to run it.
