I have a 1993 200 Pro with Mercury 200 EFI and it is painfully slow to get on plane even with a 4 blade prop. No hole shot and struggles to spool up. Currently sitting 4" below pad. Top speed is about 58 MPH GPS with tournament load. If I raise jack plate it blows out. Moving 1/4" at a time. Any suggestions would be appreciated

I Believe in Catch & Release...
Only when I don't have Witnesses..
What kind and size prop are you running? What rpm you pulling when running wide open
Currently have a 24P 4 blade Trophy Plus on it. Have what I believed to be 2 of these props and they have slightly different numbers, one is a 48-825940 24P and the other is a 48-825940A47 24P. Can’t find any info on what makes them different. It will turn 5800 WOT but takes forever to beak over
Something is off. I have the same hull more or less with a 225 and run upper 60's with excellent hole shot. Best prop for my boat is 25 pitch fury without plugs. 3.5" below pad is my happy place. I suspect its a prop issue. Does the 4 blade have plugs?
I think it’s a prop issue also, I have a 210 super with a 250xb and 24 tempest plus that will flat bust outta the hole
Time for a tune up? plugs, filters, fuel pump, oil pump etc...
