    Question PP vs Talon

    Hey guys, I know this question has been asked a million times, but I want to ask you guys that run Cats. Just sold my 6' PP, my dilemma is going back with PP or to go with Talons? I've heard of people struggling with holeshot after installing Talons. Only reason I'm considering Talon is the tournament trail I fish has contingency money for boats with Talons. Any help would be appreciated.

    Is it a weight thing? The brackets? I’m suprized it affects performance.

    Also sets them too close to the motor (with most of the PP brackets) for the Talon to be fully effective
