    Switch to trophy?

    Trying to figure out if I should switch to a trophy currently running a 25 tempest just worked, when I’m by myself or loaded light with 2 hole shot is good and top speed is 63-65 pending on conditions. When I’m loaded 2 guys live wells full etc it’s slow out of the hole and doesn’t seem like the boat gets enough lift, will a 24 trophy help lift the boat?

    Boat is a 20ft Tidecraft with a 200 mercury efi light load 63-65 5800/5900 rpms
    heavy load 60/61 5500/5600 rpms

    last question is I’ve heard guys say 4 blade won’t load the boat on the trailer?

    Try a 24-25P Bravo1XS or Marks Razor4 XL... It will load when vented properly.

    I have a 24 trophy not the plus. Your welcome to try it. It's been work but I don't know by whom. I picked it up used for a spare.

    If I put a cav ring on my trophy it would just bog the motor down. You use a cav ring after you can't adjust the PVS holes including all solid plugs.
