I can run a 19 pitch trophy plus and it’s great fully loaded but speed is about 47 and still run up to the rev limiter. I bought a 21 Pitch trophy plus I am thinking this will be the perfect combination, I have spoke with someone that runs a 21 pitch spitfire he has had excellent results 50 mph loaded fairly heavy and a decent hole shot and it’s not even the Command stroke it’s the 2 stroke 115 XS. Once water temp gets up and you have 2 people say 400lbs maybe 250 lbs of water if livewells are full at 8.3 pounds per gallon and another 160 lbs of gas at 6.3 lbs per gallon plus tackle it’s a lot of weight 21 tempest may be OK but you probably won’t have a great hole shot but should be manageable. I will run mine Saturday and let y’all know the water temp is already 89 deg so I am sure this will have some effect on performance we will see.
