He explained that your maximum speed is obtained when the cavitation plate is parallel with the bottom of the hull. Anything more or less you're waisting HP driving the nose up or down instead of forward. Makes sense. Many thanks to Danny for taking a few minutes to explain this.

I never really thought about positive trim adding drag, but I'm assuming that's what CC means. Makes sense.

So, what's the next step if anything?
What's your speed right now, I remember you were doing pretty good?
I understand your only trying to gain few mph max and basically maximizing your setup.
