2002 procraft super pro 200 setup

[kram31]

I have a 2002 procraft super pro 200 with a 99 johnson 225 ho and yes i knows its a little over max hp for this hull but i purchased boat used and thats what it had. I'm currently running a 25p 4 blade renegade bass pro. at WOT I'm running 58-5900 rpm and seeing 70mph on gps. boat has the factory jack plate on it which i believe is a 6" setback and is all the way bottomed out. i feel like the boat should have more bow lift with this setup. looking for some feedback on whether i should switch props or what i could do to get more lift. running WOT fully trimmed up and it won't throw any sort of roost at all.

Try a 25-26" Tempest plus I get very good bow lift if that is what I understand you are looking for with this prop. I am running a PC 192 Super Pro with a 200 Pro XS Best speed I have 8" hydraulic JP Best I have gotten is around 72 WOT in cold weather. I realize the Tempest is a Mercury prop which may present a problem. Still if you are getting 70 mph out o your boat I would say you are doing pretty darn good/

check prop to pad height.

thanks for the input. motor was 1/2" higher but i was blowing the prop out constantly. jackplate is also 10" manual.
