Now I mount mirage 17x15 1/4
Maximum speed 36kt
2x225 hp Mercury OptiMax 2001.
consumption: 21kt gal. now 20

I want to raise the stern and travel at a speed 'cruise more' low to consume less fuel.
thanks and hello

You are asking for people ONLY with direct experience with your exact boat and your exact motors. The chances of you finding that exact person at any internet forum is almost impossible. But I would recommend that you go to Continuous Wave as they discuss ONLY Boston Whalers.

If you can't find enough help there you might want to consider adding adjustable trim tabs to lower your bow rise and lower your minimum planing speed. Not only would this be a very reasonable choice, but it easily could cost you LESS money and can have Many extra advantages.
