engine hieght

[Eugene Offield]

I would like to compare engine hieght with other 700 LX owners with 115`s and also performance comparisons. My engine is currently in the third hole and am running a Trophy 23 pitch prop At 53 mph at WOT, GPS

Eugene, I could be wrong, but it doesn't sound like your getting max rpm out of your motor. I run a 17' Triton Tr17dc with a 115 myself. I'm turning a 20" prop 5400rpm and getting 52mph on the GPS. Sounds like you might be a bit over propped or something else could be amiss. I believe most guys with your setup are getting pretty near 60mph. But like I said, "I could be wrong".
Tight Lines!!
