    Need more Bow Lift.....

    Hello friends....

    I am really not disappointed in my rigs performance, but you know how we all are, why not try to make it better.

    Running a 2019 Nitro Z20, 250 ProXS 4Stroke, 23P Fury 3 Blade prop. Hole shot is out of this world, and top end is around 74 by myself and the boat pretty loaded. 36V trolling motor, and 2 - 10ft Talons.. So not bad imo....

    However I would prefer a little more bow lift at max trim.. The boat has a tendency to be right on the edge of porpoising at WOT with max trim. So it has "some" lift, but doesn't feel like much. So, I'm leaning to the solution of trying to get more? With 2 people in the boat, I really don't have much bow lift at all.. I am not overloaded with gear in the front storage either.

    Should I consider a different prop, pitch? Have my existing prop worked? Open to all suggestions...

    25P might be too much pitch. Record the WOT RPM'S.

    I run a Bravo 1 XS on my Bass Cat, gives lots of lift. Different boat obviously but if you get a chance maybe you could try a Bravo 1 XS.
