I think you will be quite please with the performance and remember, you should not need to use as much engine trim as before to get the same effect, and bow angle of attack changes. I suspect that many keep using the same amount of trim when at high speed as before it was installed, and when they tuck in or trim out the engine they are creating a lot more drag (possibly shaving off top end speeds) then what is really needed... Almost to the point of having a "stalling" effect like when flying an aircraft.

So flatten the engine angle of attack, punch the throttle, get the hull on a plane, and then throttle back to your normal cruise RPM... Then watch your GPS as you make tiny trim angle changes. I think you will find that she will run somewhat faster (for the same RPM as before, and stay on a plane at lower RPM's thus saving fuel and so much so, that it pays off (great ROI for 40 bucks) for the plate. 2 things you should notice when running is that she will carve up the water better at high speeds (less skipping and chine walking) and just about loose any of that low speed bow drift that forces you to keep bringing the helm back and forth to hold a heading when going slow or trolling which is a issue with many deep v hulls like the 210

Let us know how you make out...
