    Trophy or Tempest?

    I have a Nitro 180TF with an XR6 150 that when I bought it had a 25p Laser II, would only hit 5000 rpms and 50 mph but had a great hole shot. I added a jackplate and tried my buddy's 21p Trophy 4 blade and got my peak rpms of 5800 and have topped out at 57 by myself with my gear. Holeshot is not great but I'm going to try removing the VSP plugs, had the largest ones in but I think the prop is biting too hard. I've been wanting to try a 23p Tempest, think I will see any gains in top speed? I have to say, I really like the Trophy, boat has actual mid range now and corners great. I probably should just try to find someone that will let me try theirs and go from there...🤷*♂️

    23p tempest should be faster. Less holeshot and handling
