    Question Phoenix 618 heavy load 24p tempest

    Want to go to a 4 blade prop. Merc 175XSPro. I usually run full tank 2 people and lots of gear. When new I could easily hit 65mph. Now after a few years and a lot more gear I can't get past 58.
    never tried another prop. Other than the 24p Tempest.
    also I fall off plane at about 23mph. Is that normal?

    I ran a 618 with 175 Pro XS with a Fury 4 blade 24 and it did pretty good. 3 1/2 second hole shot and 64 with me and no water in livewells and sustained 62 on tournament day with water and a partner. I carry a lot of stuff. However, 58 sounds like something else may be wrong.
