was just bout to say the same thing.

Im sure itd be way cheaper and easier to just have the transom adjusted than to try and find the parts and pay for em to fix the motor.

or if you can get a little jack plate for it then you could go that route

This boat is turning into a headache now. I would rather find a jack plate. Do you know of decent ones?

I have it trimmed all the way down, manuel trim, and it bogs down for a little while before getting on plane. Any help? Im thinking of getting a jack plate or bigger motor.

Bet the carbs need cleaning, how long did it sit before you bought it ?
Sounds like a carb issue

dont know if you'll be able to lower your motor enough with a jackplate to do what you want to do, keep the motor and find a new boat or cut the transom down, takes nothing more than a sawzaw and a case of beer and some aluminum sheet metal to hide your cut

A jackplate won't work. You need a long shaft outboard.
