I recently bought & rebuilt an 11' Bobcat Mini Tunnel. I've tried twice now to take the boat out & I can't get it to plane. The boat has a Tohatsu 40 with a 3 blade cleaver on it. It's got an adjustable height set back plate on it that I remounted in the same position it was when I bought it. The plate happened to be adjusted all the up the first time I took it out, so I thought simple enough, I'll adjust it all the way down. It improved, but still won't get on plane. I guess the set back plate could have been mounted too high, but I looked at some "before" photos I took, & the plate appears to be mounted in the same location. I re-glassed the transom, but the first thing I did after the glass dried was re-drill the old holes out as they were seen through the glass. Presently, the cavitation plate is sitting 3.25" above the top of the tunnel. The boat is gorgeous, so I don't want "swiss cheese" testing different motor heights, so anyone's help would be wonderful.
Thanks, Tony
