The higher the better but that mostly depends on what prop you are running, some props do not like being jacked up at all. with a 225 you can only hit 70 mph so jacking way up does not help you much any ways. Starflites love setback, i run 13" and some people run as much as 20" just be sure to put some sort of extra support for the transom, I have 1\4" thick aluminum plates on both sides of my transom. Move as much weight to the back as possible and remove any water soaked foam from bow and floor, get yourself a cheap handheld GPS, it's the easiest way to measure the speed increase from the changes you make. -shane

you will have to mount the engine all the way up on the jackplate and jack it all the way up. then you may not even be at the right height.
