Hi Joe, Thats a tough question. Where the holes are is somewhat imaterial, as they are drilled at the place that sets the boat up. Also, the hull is stepped, so I cant look at it and tell how far the cavitation plate is from the bottom. Sorry. What boat do you have?

Re: Lubedude I got a ? for you!!

the mounting holes in the motor mounting brackets are what I'm asking about not on the boat it self!! Mine has 5 different holes and my motor is mounted in the 2nd holes from the top!! I have a 1986 17' stratos 150 merc!! I know I need to change props( Way out of RPM range at WOT, 6000 +++++ Rpms) Just wondering if I went up some with the motor what would that do for handing!!

When it was originally mounted it was in the first hole, now it is in the second.
