I put a BMS plate on my 190 Bay w/ 115 Yamaha last year and initially thought that I would remove it because it seemed to cut down on my top speed, as well. Before you cut it up or remove it play around a little with the trim as you motor around. It makes the trim much more sensitive, small adjustments seem to make a big difference in the planing attitude as well as speed/rpm. In calm water, no wind, WOT my rig (with a T-top, 2 people, half a tank of fuel, and aluminum prop) runs at 39-40 mph (GPS)@5500 rpm, when I have the trim dialed in just right. What I like most, however, is the stern lift it creates that makes it possible to stay on plane at 17-18 mph.
