First off with any setback 10 in or more prop shaft can be up to 1.50 to 2 inches above the pad. Best setback on a pulsar is 14 inches how ever you get there is up to you. I prefer hydro dynamics full hydraulic with 2 deg of tuck. Which means the bottom of the motor is kicked out 2 deg. Which will give you more trim. As far as wild man goes he is the master of getting speed out of any boat. And if his video is not still on his website or on you tube. The yellow checkmate ran 98 MPH. Do research test and tune as much as you can. Only test with 10 gal of gas. Full oil always. Weigh tow rig & boat on trailer full of all fluids then weigh tow rig and just trailer and you will have an acurite weight of loaded boat. Then you will know. Preferably a CAT scale
