    More tests to come on flat water with video to compare.

    Heres what I ended up with to finish off this thread.

    I ended up buying a Vance 3inch set back jacking plate.....manual adjust. To play with the motor height.
    After taking the time of adjusting it over a period of trips. I have found the sweet spot.

    The motors current position sits 2 inches higher now than before the jackplate, so 3 inches above keel.
    Big improvement again with handling and will be the final setup. Very happy with the way it runs now.

    Adjusting the jack plate any higher than this a decline in performance can be felt.
    Current height feels like everything is centred and balanced.
