I have a '87 XTB 21 with a stone stock 200EFI. It's mounted on 10" Bob's setback transom running a 26"trophy. Best height is with the Bob's nose cone deadeven with the line of the pad. Any higher and she starts to fall off in speed. The best I registered on my in dash Livorsi GPS is 82.6.

Mine runs with 11-1/2" setback (One mechanical plate plus CMC hydraulic plate) and the depth is determined by water pressure. I find at or just below the pad works best with the LWP and a 26-pitch four-blade Trophy Plus prop carried it best with the 150 I had previously. I'm planning to experiment with new props at the Rally to work better with the 280 HP I have on it now.
