I would start with a 25p Trophy plus set at 3-1/2" p2p and come up 1/4" per run till you have gone too far then drop back to previous setting. Make sure to have a tournament load while adjusting.

What do you mean by 3 1/2" p2p?

At the top of the setup page their is a sticky about how to measure prop to pad. You need to know that measurement so you can adjust without guessing.

I had a 96 back in the late 90's. Great little boat but

you will find your 90's Eyra to be a finicky Cat.

Mine was very weight sensative requireing a hyd. jack plate. Tour load with full 50 plus gallons of fuel and full livewells and co angler the boat could run the jack a lot lower than when the boat was light. Best OAL performance came with a 24 Trophy on a 150 Merc XRI at 66 mph. The Hyd. is a must have for that ride because weight is subjective, as is the water conditions, and I found the sweet spot had a very broad range compared to my 20' plus boats.
