I would raise it to 25" which is what I will be doing. With the 20" transom, the motor sits mighty low in the water. The hydraulic steering and all the rigging wires and cables are under water in the splashwell while fishing, (me at the helm and 1 fishing buddy in the back fighting fish. The biggest problem is with the center of gravity being that far back, mine falls off plane around 2800-3000 rpm. Good luck with it and post lots of pics.
