Our 93 Javelin 379 (18') with a Johnson FastStrike 150 run a Raker II 24P. PtP is set at 3 1/2" and has a older 6" jackplate. Jumps up on plane in 2 seconds.
My 2003 Stratos 185 with a Yamaha 150 runs a Mercury Tempest Plus 25P. PtP is set at 3 1/2" and gets up on plane in 3 seconds. It has a Vance 6" jackplate. Both props have been worked by Mark Croxton in Indiana and have some cup added to the blades.
Are you starting out with your motor trimmed all the way down and then slowly trimming up?
Can you tell us how you measured your PtP.
The title of your post indicates a PtP question, but your main question is about your Prop. I would suggest asking your prop question in the Prop section of the forum.
