    2004 TZX190 running too slow I think

    I have a 2004 tzx190 with 175 HPDI. My prop was bent when got it on one blade. Had it straightened but only running 52mph trimmed up at 5200 rpm. I should be running faster. Is the prop the main issue. It is a 25M. If so what prop is best for performance, and should I just buy a new one and use this as a spare. Thanks

    Not very familiar with Skeeters but to me it seems like you would need a 23 or 24

    I'd say the prop needs some work before go to a different size prop. Plenty of good prop places more geared to performance based on your boat specifications. I've heard great things about Marks Props in Indiana

    I think I would have to go with new prop than. The one on there was bent pretty bad and then the blade is a little thinned out from fixing

    Had this his exact boat. I got a deal on a tempest plus 24. Worked on jackplate height and it ran 67 with just me. I LOVED that boat!

    I have a perfect 25m that was my spare on my ZX 185 which I traded for a new ZX 250. Let me know if you want to see picts of it.
