How would you prop a 2005 Pantera Classic with a 2.5 200 EFI out? 2.5 can’t sling what a 3.0 can. What would you guys be running if you were me?

By biggest complaint with the Trophy's is the weak power loading ability. I have tried them along with Tempest and Fury 3 on my 2.5L 200, all struggle on holeshot with a load due to the lack of torque. Not sure if the 2.5L could spin up the larger diameter props like the Razor XL or Bravo's or even the stiff Rev 4 or a Fury 4, even with proper venting.Originally Posted by 21XDC
Back the trailer in the water another ft.

I also have a 2005 classic, with a 27 trophy, thing hops right out every time, even with a full livewell, I've heard recommendations from other owners with the same hull, they all say a 25-26 tempest, or trophy, from what I've been told fury doesn't do much for this hull compared to the other two I mentioned. power loading on any basscat is weak, I had a Jaguar that was the same way, on the other hand my brothers ranger would drive itself over the trailer winch if you kept on it. its just the way boat sits in water and on trailer. as far as getting out of the hole, try it with the boat rig completely empty, if it still does it, start going down in pitch an inch at a time, or you might just have to have your current prop worked on.
Ran a 23P Razor 4XL on a 2.5L 200 that was on my Champion. Turned it fine and was the best prop i owned compared to Tempest and Trophy.
