Great video here man!!! Im 210 and noticed when I sat in the center while driving(awkward) my buddies side console jonboat picked up 3-4 mph, so my new 1436 is going to have a small custom center console instead of the side console they make for it. Heres what Ive learned in 35 years of rigging boats: Jackplates are great, start with cav plate even with the bottom as your center point and youll be able to adjust. A hydrofoil will plow and slow you down anything below even with the bottom, they really are only good to improve holeshot and reduce stern dig on takeoff so you dont bottom out in shallow water. Jackplates and hydrofoils fight each other unless youre jacked even with or above the bottom of the stern. Another thing is small outboards dont always have any steering offset turn fin which means some of your thrust goes off to the side a bit. Also put a little more weight up front if you can, what really limits jonboats is everything that ends up in the stern being hard to overcome with little weight in the bow. Once you get all that right then choose a pitch that works for your setup and needs. Tight lines brother!!!

Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I will try your tips. I have been thinking of removing my hydrofoil, as it has not really improved anything but maybe holeshot. I appreciate you insight.

Yes and No. My specific plate only offered a 3 inch rise and 2 inch Fall from placement. For a 5 inch difference you need to make sure the plate has a 5 inch drop which ia going to cause alot of setback from the transom. I ended up going with the On-the-fly jackplate because I needed more rise and fall and wanted to adjust it while underway and now I can rise 5 icnhes or fall 5 easily needing my socket and wrench. But if you know your exact depth based on load your carry, this is a great plate to have. Hope that helps.
