Default Re: Motor Height Measurement

I have a fin on my 20...when I bought the motor it already had one on it so I just left it on...the boat really jumps on plane and turns on a dime without any cavitation. My trim tabs were an unnecessary addition to this boat. Bushwacker has a fin on his Hermco bracket and he has said that he thinks it helps as well. I used to have a fin on a bracketed 23 Arena craft....cant remember exactly why I put it on but I think it was because of blowing out in turns and it fixed the problem. I think the main advantage of a fin is that it will get the bracketed boat up on plane faster. BTW I think fins look ugly..... but if they help
