    21xl stratos holeshot

    Having trouble getting on plane with loaded Wells fuel and 2 talons and passenger. Running a tempest plus 27p has 3 plugs with 1/2" holes in them. Would pulling them help?

    Pull all the plugs out and try it. I have basically the same boat and I run a 26p trophy plus and it does great on holeshot.

    What are the RPM's DURING the holeshot?........ Trimmed all the way down and in, foot mashed to the floor?

    You need to be turning 3700 to 4000. My 201 turns a 26p trophy to 4100 on holeshot. It's a rocket. Best holeshot yet

    Without buying a new prop would removing plugs completely help?

    It would help tremendously. My Yamaha like to vent. It all depends on your motor. Most Etec motors don't require a lot of venting because they have some serious low end, and some mercury motors are the same way. If you run a new merc with the wingmaster lower unit it will take less venting. What motor do you run?
