Default set up

I recently purchased a 2000 Stratos 19SS. I am looking for the correct engine set up for my 200 Ficht on the back. Been told a couple of different things about what the height of the engine should be. There is a 6" jack plate on the boat. I have a S/S 25 pitch 4 blade Renegade prop. The boat gets pretty squirly above 65 mph.
Any help will help.

laser and zook should help get you squared away before too long. i think bender has a new stratos he was tinkering with too so he may be able to help.

J/p, prop and speed are all looking pretty good so far. I was wondering are you talking bout GPS speed or speedo. What are your WOT rpms and whats your water psi a when running flot out all she will??? I can tell you you need to be 3" under pad and your boat will like 2 3/4" under pad. I go STRICTLY by the numbers. They WILL NOT LIE TO YA. Lemme know those numbers and we can tweak her out.
