    Need something that works like a TXP OT4 but smaller than a 23

    I have a 23" Turbo TXP OT4 on my boat that works really well for everyday use. I just had a big casting platform made for the bow of my boat for redfish tournaments and with the added wind drag, I'm only hitting 5600rpm at 60mph with that prop and my SHO 250.

    Normally I hit 6100 at 69mph so the slip is going from 9% to 14% also.

    I need recommendation on something that will turn up more rpm than the OT4 since the 23 is the smallest they make.

    I'm thinking the Bravo XS would work well but they are too fragile for the shallow marsh environment.

    What about a Rev4 or RKR?

    The high5 24p won't work on the SHO as the diameter is way too small. I'd consider the 22p bravo1 with a flared barrel.

    If you want to pull your boat up to Prairieville, I have 3 props you can try to see what works best - 23" Rev 4, 23" Trophy Plus, 26" High 5 with a blow out ring.

    I talked to a friend with a Yellowfin 24 Bay and he is running a Rev4 that they install stock. I'm going to try that.

    I was able to get 63-64mph out of the deal today at 5700 rpm so that's much better.
