I second that, looks like a good height for sea trial. Just make sure you can live with the handling up high. My motor is way up and has less drag and better speed but if you get too high you see your boat not do as well making tight turns when trimmed up high. Feels like the boat wants to turn like a flat bottom skiff and gives you that sliding felling if you don't trim it down when up real high (2 inch plus). You can get too high and loose your handling but can still trim down a little and she locks in and will turn find tho when up too high. You got to find that balance point you can be happy at. Just make sure you get the AV plate up out of the water when on plane.
