I replaced the original (Perko?) hatch supports with
these SS supports which eliminate the knob that sticks out . . . the hatch is relatively narrow anyway, so eliminating the knob is a big deal!
Tony, congrats on the successful shakedown run! Boat looks great! You need to teach those dogs to drive so you can check AV plate height! I think it should be at least 3/4 to 1.5" above keel. Those Zukes may need to run a bit lower than most due to their large diameter props. It does sound like you're running too much pitch, but need to get height correct first, as raising motor may increase rpm. When you do start prop testing, it's important to test with bimini top up and max load you expect to run, so consider using some water ballast if necessary.
