I recently purchased my first Bass Cat earlier this week. Love everything about the boat except I'm having some hole shot problems. The boat is an 03 Cougar FTD and it is powered by a 03 225 Opti paired with a 24.5p Bravo 1 prop. The prop has 8 holes, four of them have no plugs and four have a plug with a large hole. The boat has two 10 foot talons also. The first time I took the boat out it was just me and my brother with a tank and a half of gas and the hole shot was ok. The next time I went out with my dad and my brother with 2 full tanks of gas and the hole shot was very bad. both times I went out the motor lags power during the hole shot. I trim the motor down all the way and give it all the throttle, the bow raises up very high and boat seems to be stuck at low rpms for a couple of seconds and then all of a sudden the power will kick in and the boat will slowly plane out. I understand that with two tallons, 2 full tanks of gas, and 3 people the whole shot is gonna be a little slow. I'm thinking about adding a fin to help with hole shot. But, I'm worried about the lag in power when I open the throttle up on the hole shot, it shoots the bow way up in the air and I can't see anything for a couple of seconds, and then when the power finally kicks in the hole shot is slow because the bow is so high in the air. Once on plane the motor runs like a champ and I hit 67 with me and my brother in the boat until it started to chine walk and I backed off. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem? I'm not a boat mechanic by any means and just looking for some expert opinions to point me in the right direction. Thanks!
