    I think 10-11 on my Atlas is about perfect on my ZXR20.

    When I set these hulls up, I raise the manual plate up 1 dot, and run the trim around 80%. Atlas I run at 16-18 on the gauge, and again trim around 80%. Run 75+ alone, and 74 with tournament partner. These numbers are in multiple ZXR/FXR 20's. I have tried a bunch of different props in different pitches, but always end back at the 25-t2.

    Wow, I would love to get those numbers!!! My ZXR20 with 2 Power Poles and me alone will run 74 mph in perfect conditions but falls off to 68 mph with livewells full and partner added. I am running the stock 25 T2 prop that can on boat. What am I doing wrong? Oh Atlas JP at 10-11 on gage but I am at full trim. I will try 80% my next time out but it feels like I need more trim. PLease help. I Love the boat but if I could gain even 2 mph it would be an amazing boat.

    Thanks

    Raise HYD JP to 16-19 with 75-80% trim. In rough water run it at 12-14 on JP. Make sure all your heavy tackle is in the back. My FXR20 I run like this and see 73-75 by myself, with tourney load and partner I get 70-72 all day.

    When you guys say 75-80% trim, does that mean motor down or up? Sorry not 100% familiar with boat terminology.

    How many dots showing on a manual plate for best performance.

    Usually 7 from the factory, everyone i know that are running 75mph have raised the plate to 8 dots showing. I find this to be the spot.
