Overheating? You lost me on that last part.
All I can tell you is how my boat performs (19' Daytona, Merc 2.4 Bridgeport). With a relatively light load, if I run the jack plate so that the nose cone is even with the center pod, and trim the motor in a little, it will cavitate some out of the hole, but not bad. If I sink the motor down and trim it in, it doesn't cavitate at all and jumps on plane easy.
Something is wrong if there isn't much difference between a 26" and 22" prop. How much set back does he have?
