With a heavy load I loose a lot of lift. Anyone have any thoughts on props for the sho?

I have ran a few props on SHOs and for me the Scorpion props have had the most bow lift. They do run about 1-2 pitches stiff though. What prop are you running now?

If the rpm’s are where you like them now you might try a 23 Scorpion. If the rpm’s are lower than you like now you might try a 22 Scorpion. If you did not want to purchase a prop you could always try re-arranging how the boat is loaded to put the heavy tackle in the rear unless you have already tried that.
can always get your prop guy to add some cup to your prop. It was a night and day difference for me in terms of lift.
Tempest works very well, too. I like mine. Very popular prop on skeeter, from what I've found.
