Hey guys I'm looking at trying a new prop to help me get on pad in some shallow water. Before you tell me to idle to deeper water I'll tell you that it is a shallow marsh area in southeast Texas (soft bottom) and the nearest deep water can be up to 2 miles away sometimes. The boat I am running is a 2003 Ranger 519vx with a 2017 200hp mercury pro xs, 6 inch hydraulic jack plate, with a 25 pitch tempest plus prop. Hole shot I have now is good, but I need at least 2 feet of water to get on pad. Is there a prop like a 4 blade fury or something that could help me get that number to only needing 1.5 feet of water. Not sure if it is even possible but it sure would help in a tournament.
Appreciate any input.
