    Tiny boat performance help

    Does that Motor have an External Fuel Tank? If so, place it and your Anchor in the Bow You could also move the Tilt Pin as Close to the Transom as the Holes allow, that will help the planing, but will likely reduce top speed

    Add tilt and trim to 1969 85hp Evinrude?

    However pre69 V4s Transom Brackets were quite a bit Different than those of the Post 68 engines, and while there was similarities in the Tilt Systems, I wasn't going to state they were interchangeable

    Add tilt and trim to 1969 85hp Evinrude?

    Should I change prop pitch/ go to stainless.

    With the 19, mine was turning 5500 and the speedo was reading about 49-50mph. The I6 115 used 2:1 from 72 on. In 71 it had 25:14 ratio according to the Brochure(could be a Typo though)

    Should I change prop pitch/ go to stainless.

    I really don't see the purpose of adding a Jackplate on a small V Hull, but it is your choice. Raising the Engine often reduces Chine Walking. I am assuming you have the inline 6 115. WOT Range is 5000-5500rpm. One thing to keep an eye on is, making sure the Engine is not being starved of Water...
