As Wayne stated and someone else trim should be used when taking off everytime to achieve your results. My brother has an 18'6 foot Fisher with an 88 on it and if he doesn't use his trim when he takes off he burns alot of gas and takes forever to get on plane. Even as he is running down the lake and conditions change, mostly wind or chop he is still hitting the trim button up or down to maintain proper plane. That 90hp should get that Tracker on plane with no problem. I know my brother had to raise his motor up 1 hole on his transom and saw much better results. 2-3 mph and faster time getting on plane. It is hard to explain what it feels or sounds like when you are running at the right trim but I would say it is like the last 2 feet or so of your boat is just barely slapping the water when on lite chop.

Well guys i have been really busy.

Thanks for all the input. I got a jackplate last week and installed it.

I went out on the water to do some fishing and i did mess with it a littl bit

and i got it to reach the speed of 46.9 m.p.h on my garmin gps. The boat does

feel more stable now. I do feel as if i can get more out of it with more time.

I only made 4 small adjustments going up. I have been keeping an eye on the

water pressure and all is well. As for how much more i can get out of it i

dont know. Someone had asked how often do i run W.O.T. Well 90 % of the time

i run W.O.T cause i am constantly moving from one spot to another. I cover a

lot of water and i do fish quite a few tournaments. Some of them are in my

friends boat (19' Triton with a 200 merc.) We got his boat pretty well tuned

with his jackplate and prop setup. It runs right at 68-70 mph on a GPS.

Maintains great pressure and now blowout.. I plan on taking my boat out

this weekend or next week and i will mess with the jackplate some more.

Thanks.

So it does go 47.1 M.P.H on my Garmin GPS!!!! Yep the 90 hp two stroke does 47 MPH. I Am now looking for a 135HP...Anyone have one. Open to any suggestions or ideas. I would like this boat to see 60 MPH.
