in speaking to 2 different prop companies I have been told allowing water over the top of the anti vent plate from the back of the boat actually pushes down on the motor and prop and creates a very large drag situation. Fixing this they said will/should be a drastic change, again they said lol

right now the anti vent plate is below the keel while just sitting in the water and no added weight to the boat nor underway, then when getting on it and underway I am just dropping it lower under the water line.

hoping they are right
