jumping ship
I wrecked my 04 gambler 2100 with a 225 option last september. I hit a stump and knock out the lower unit. I turned around and the motor was laying on the back deck. So after 5 months ofback and forth with my insurance co. We finally resolved it. ended up my boat was a total loss. So i wanted to get a bullet. but after 5 months of looking I ended up in a ranger z19.

And a couple of props. They are to steep for my ranger

Rod tubes are no good for me since I have 20+ in 1 compartment, and Im not sure if the pros would work or not

What kind of props do you have ? I'm wanting to try a little stiffer pitch on my G.

I'm hitting the rev limiter with a new stock 27 Trophy Plus now. The guys in the Mercury booth at the Classic Expo said I needed to try a 29 Bravo XS to get my rpms. down were I need to be. My 27 Tempest Plus hits the limiter too. I was hoping to find a 29 or 30 to try.
