    Boat is 18xl
    Motor Yamaha 150 2 stroke
    props 23m and now 25m. With the 25m I don’t have to worry about going over rpms and speed is a little better I have hit 62 gps with just me loaded.
    Hole shot on both is excellent.

    If you want to add 400 rpms (currently 5200) and are using a 24p, going up in pitch to a 25 is wrong. Increasing an inch will lower your rpms to about 5000-5050.

    What hull you have will have a bearing on the issue, along with motor height and jackplate setback. If you can provide more info, the guys can better assist.
