I bought a 2015 Z7 end of last year with a 175 XS pro 24 pitch Tempest plus, large PVC plugs. Added a 8" jack plate, motor 3" under pad, when at WOT 5,500 RPM not getting enough bow lift I think. With a decent load, 2 people and 3/4 tank of gas I can only get 61ish. I know there's a few more MPH I should be getting with this setup. When trimmed all the way up i'm not feeling the bow lift i had in my other boat.
I know the prop can be custom worked to give me more lift. Is there anything else i can try?
I based this setup on my prior 2007 591 with a 150 opti-may 6" jack plate 24 pitch tempest plus motor 3" under pad and i could get 61MPH at 5,200 RPM fully trimmed up. Sometimes in the right conditions when at full trim this setup start chine-walking so i know i was at my lift limit.
