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

At WOT and when boat is up on plane, you should be able to see the anti vent plate right on top or just into the water spray. If you cant see it you need to raise the motor which will create a lot less drag.
I think your on the right track...
Good Luck!
