Glenn Hawkins supplied me with this link, I measured and re-re-remeasured, came up with the motor needing lifted 1 5/16. Made a wooden spacer left over from the Gheenoe project. Felt so good about it I drilled the two bottom spacers, I have 1 1/2 up and down to play with. If I need to, but knowing how many have done this with a mod-Vee boat I feel good already.

Boat has a 20" transom.

I was a guinea pig on the LT25/jet project.

Looks great. How about a report once you have used it a few times. Still looking for the perfect boat.
With a trolling motor you may have it.

Glenn is good with that type of thing.  Glad you got that info and can't wait to hear a performance report.
