No, I bent a ear on a log last week up the river and haven't sent it to mark yet
This case is faster tho with the wingmaster if I trimmed to that point the prop would loose bite or blow out

Make sure your getting w.o.t. U are so close make sure u have as much stuff in the back as possible it helps keeping the nose out without as much positive trim I picked up 1.25 mph when I did this the only thing in the front is rods net and a paddle. Keep us posted.

Definitely hitting wot, but that was a problem at one time. I don't have much in the front 8 rods rain gear and about 10 lbs misc.
I honestly feel like I'm getting too much bow lift now and catching air is holding me back.
I'll try again when I get the hydro back it shold be between 82.5 and 83 the bravo has always been alittle over 1 mph slower.

With the 28 Hydro and the Gen 1 TM, set it at 1/2" below and let'er eat...

Britt i haven't seen your boat on green river, i live in campbellsville and run the local bass club. i am running about the same as you only mine has a sporty with 1.75 gears and a 29 hydro. i just put a new power head on and trying to break 83 with 2 people also i am at 81.5 now. the last thing i did and it helped was put 2" spacers on the jack plate , now i have 16" set back. get with me some time and try some setups .
Take out your fishing seats and it'll pick up.

I went back and looked at your set-up. Mine use to be similar before I changed jack plates and coned my lower. . 1" below 30 bravo 84 with 1 in the summer loaded 84 with 2 in the winter loaded. 29 worked hydro loaded summer solo 85 same load in the winter solo with a splash of gas was 89. My fishing load is 35#s of tackle and 10 rods. I had a 27 hydro that was worked and would absolutely fly but it stayed on the limiter.

It's a hydromotive quad 4 I found on scream and fly. Hydromotive isn't currently putting out any propellers when I called they told me to check back after the first of the year.
I ran a 28 promax lab finish this week, it ran 82.x @ 617x rpms 17 psi water psi. 1/2" below. Prop pulls very hard after the boat gets on pad. I didn't expect it to turn so many rpms every one talks about how stiff the promax run on pitch. Any ideas? .

Your getting the speeds close to what I'm looking for with my 21xrd merc 250 with 1.75 gears. I'm afraid the 112 lb Ultrex with the extra battery is killing my speed. My 27 hydro Q4 X-OB has awesome holeshot and midrange, just hits a wall barely bumping 80 mphat 5900 to 6000 rpm. I more than likely need a 28 hydo or a 28 promax myself. This is my 3rd 21 fter with 250's and they both would hit 85 mph with 27 trophies w/1.62 gears. Keep trying, thinking about removing the ultrex and 1 battery and seeing what happens. I will at least then know the extra weight and wind drag is hampering me. Oh yea, I also ran a 28xl Razor yesterday only hitting 79 mph at 5900 to 6000 rpm.
Your running where you should be at , I drove two different 21/250 one and xb the other an xs 80 -83 is about it with two guys and gear . I wouldn't stress.
