I’d get your motor looked at. Buddy had 2007 Cougar with 225 regular Opti. With a 25 Fury, 73 solo with livewells empty and about 30 gal of gas. 26 Tempest ran 71 with both of us at takeoff with...

Not sure if it’s the same for your Trophy, but this is the part number that works on my Laser
with pressed in hub. Part #12-3121 1Q03

532326Prop should be fast, just not ideal for idling through...

Is it the thinner, lighter Trophy? You might have struck gold with that 2.5 liter.
Sounds like a rubber, pressed in hub. Nothing wrong it, and they shift quietly.
Pressed in should be a round...

Just a thought. Powertech makes a “cushion lock” hub that should work as a replacement for the pressed in rubber style. You can replace those hubs yourself. Might be worth looking into. I have one...

For that much weight, I’d try to borrow a 23 pitch to try. Put everyone in it like on tournament day, and you’ll get your answer. My guess is increased speed, rpms, hole shot, and top end with a 23...

I don’t know anything about the 115 Honda. Ask around to borrow a 19 pitch prop just to get an idea how it will run. Fwiw, I had a featherweight Sprint 277 (17 1/2’) back in the 90’s with a 115...

I’m not sure if they are exactly the same as the PVS style. I had a PVS style 20 years ago that looks the same as the square hole I have now that I picked up for “cheap.” I’ve got a 25 pitch with...

I agree with TDobb 100%. I have the gt56 mounted exactly where you have yours mounted on the Bobcat. I have a Sabre. It works beautifully. I don’t have the shoot thru hull transducer to run at...

I had a 221 back in the day. 12” manual jackplate. Also, I had a 262 & 277 prior. If you could add 4” manual plate, it would make things easier. 3.5-4.0 prop to pad should fine. FWIW, various...

Never been to Beaver Lake. I fish Conroe’s wave pool, Rayburn, and Toledo all the time in my Sabre. Blow right past guys in those 18-19’ aluminum boats, and I stay dry. I’d have no problem in a...

I’ve got one. Works fine, and it’s got a red prop balancer (thing that replaces the nut). It also has a red Gforce handle. You’d need the mounting bolts/kit and a stabilizer. Might have to splice...

I’ve got a 24 VMX3 that I like on my 18’ BCB Sabre w175 Optimax. I also have a 26 Bravo XS. 24 VMX on mine turns similar rpms and top speed as the Bravo. VMX hole shot and mid range are just...

I had the exact same year model and small block EFI. 2 props it liked were 24 Laser2 and 26 A40 Trophy (thin blade/small vent holes). No ring on the Trophy. I just ran it “all natural.” It...

I bought a 24 VMX 3 for my 18’ BassCat 175 2 stroke Merc. I love it. It turns almost identical rpms and top end as the 26 Bravo XS I have. Hole shot and midrange punch is not as quick, but it’...

Never seen one with a 200, but there are other brand boats as heavy or heavier in the 19’ class that run upper 60’s mph with a 200. Go take the boat in question for a spin. Pack light, and it’ll...

1/4” up is a lot. Try 1/8” increments. Also, for top speed, fill the saddle tank and keep the belly tank at a minimum. I gained a couple mph on the Puma I had running light on the belly tank and...

Cobb, check other dealers. If a Sabre or Margay with 150 would accommodate your needs, go Stock with 150 and single axle. Buy accessory upgrades out of pocket on year end sales or wherever you can...

Not sure about the Eyra’s cooler, but I never install the plug in the cooler on my Sabre. I never have any water in the “sandwich” side. There is always plenty of ice still left in the cooler when...

Sounds like you need more vent for the heavy load. Try removing at least (1) plug and see if it helps. Probably need to pull 2 plugs since it’s struggling that much.

That description on that rig said “200” unless my eyes are deceiving me. I’d love to have that new V6 200 4 stroke on my Sabre. It weighs the same as the 175 PRoXS on the Merc site. My 175 2...

Very nice p2! Looks like the lighter weight 3” tandem that should tow easier and require less depth to launch. My buddy installed the new MG Tour on his boat. It wouldn’t “turn on” unless it was...

Ask about the Merc V6 fourstroke 200. Save you a little bit of money up front, and maybe more on fuel economy down the road. It’ll probably turn the same prop you have now.

That would be an amazing rig for a boat with 150 that would run 65 mph! I’d remove those divider things on floor of the left & right rod boxes as well. That layout on a boat fitting in small...

I’m 6’2 210. I like the wheel tilted up high on my ‘18 Sabre, but I can drive it down a notch no problem. I don’t use a hotfoot, and there is plenty of room for me. I have 6’5 buddy who drives my...

Do you have all the vent holes open in the Bravo? I would guess 4 of the 8 holes would need to be plugged solid for holeshot on that 4 stroke.
