I always wondered about that trimming for speed. I tried that and seemed to just get a nice rooster tail, then I noticed the speed go down and figured that was not the secret. My 23'er seems to like the cav plate parallel with the water coming off the keel/transom. It's not a speed boat. Now on my Pathfinder I had the Bob's jack plate and if I kept the cav plate parallel with the water and raised the plate up to where it was just above the water I did pick up speed and still had a nice rooster tail. Anything above that I had to keep any eye on water pressure!!
