Ok so cav plate should line up with bottom of boat not the transom?

I guess I'm trying to say the motor will be bolted directly to the transom using the motors bracket not a jackplate bracket

Ok so I won't have any setback mounting the motor directly against the transom. So I'm thinking the plate should be even with the very bottom of the keel (below the drain plug)?

Here's another picture. The anti ventilation plate should line up with the bottom of the surface the motor is mounted to or further below where the drain plug is (stepped transom?)

Going to be installing a 2001 yamaha 130 hp 2 stroke 20 inch shaft on my 97 wellcraft 190ccf. If you zoom in on my picture you'll see the bottom of the transom is higher than the actual keel where the drain plug is. Do I make the cavitation plate even with the drain plug or even with the bottom...

Ok I bought the 25 inch but I'm going to resell it. Buying this 20 inch 130 hp think I'll be much happier after all your recommendations. Thanks to everyone for your guidance. Here's a pic of the 20 inch 130 hp I'll be getting

Well after all this I did buy the 25 inch motor but I'm going to resell it. Found a 20 inch 130 hp I'm going to buy. Thanks for everyone's help and input. Here's the 130 hp 20 inches

Was that motor mounted on a jack plate or did the dealer install it right to the transom effectively casing the prop to be 5 inches lower than designed?

Holy crap that's a nice motor.

The whole midsection would need to be replaced as well as the driveshaft seems like a ton of work and $. Might sell it after I buy it and use the money towards a 20 inch 130 hp. This one was very well kept and I'd love to make it work though

Here's a video he sent me on his boat on the 5 inch bracket.

He's giving me the jackplate but I don't think I want to set the motor that far back from the transom

So are people preferring the 3 inch adjustable jack plate or these 1/2 inch thick riser plates? I was thinking the riser might be better because it mounts closer to the motor? Either way I'm buying the motor due to a great price then I can decide what to do

The yamaha in the pic is on a 5 inch jack plate for his 20 inch transom. It's definitely a 25 inch motor. He added a piece of starboard to keep water from coming in when chopping the throttle. Here's another pic. His boat is a 20 ft bullet center console originally an outboard motor hull.

Would I be better off with this 3" jackplate? Description states used for 25 inch motors on 20 inch transom

Ok so I'm leaning towards the 130 hp. Sorry for multiple threads

Looking at a yamaha vmax 175 hp 2 stroke hpdi 20 inch shsft. I have a wellcraft 190 ccf with max hp rating of 150. Is this a bad idea? Looks like It weighs about 100 lbs more than a 130 yamaha picture is my current setup

I'm assuming I'd need to swap the driveshaft as well? Do I have to pull the powerhead to swap the mid?

My boat is a 1997 wellcraft 190 ccf with a 20" transom. I want to install a 1999 yamaha 130 on it but it's a 25" motor. Not interested in swapping midsection and driveshaft. The seller is giving me the bracket he used to run this motor on his boat (it's in the pic of the yamaha 130). I also...
