Loosens the prop blades at the hole shot so the engine can get up to rpm quicker, and so quicker hole shot. Too many open holes and the prop will cavatate, so the person has to experiament with plugs with different size holes in the plugs, and even some of the plugs would/could have no holes in the plugs. Lots of trail and error. What the holes actually do is let thru some exhaust which covers a little of the blades and hub and displaces the water in that area. Air will let the prop spin easier than water does.

I hit 77.2 the other day in my 921 with ProXS but I only had about 25 gallons left when I did it. It was actually still climbing but I had traffic coming.....Dang I will miss the two strokes...

What prop are you running on it?
Fury 25 pitch. MC worked on it. I had all my gear in it but only 1/2 tank. It runs like a scalded dog with a light load but only 71 ish loaded with fuel and 70 with both live wells full..... My other Fury 25, not worked by MC, will run a little faster loaded but few mph slower light load if that makes sense.

Finally ran my fury 4 of my 721/sho. Holeshot was a touch better than the t2 but not by much. May be different with water in the wells. It had a ton of lift as expected but the boat felt squirrely once I put some trim in it. There was a big bass tourney today so there were boats running and gunning all day making it hard to get a top speed. Made it to 70 before I went on a short flight and gave up trying. I'll give it a try one more time but I'll probably be looking to trade it for a 26 bravo
I've got a 2003 TR-22 with a Mercury 250 XB that runs 80 with a single. And I ain't flashed nothing.

Those are fast hulls on those TR-22's. A buddy has a 2000 TR-22 with a 225 EFI that will hit 75.I've got a 2003 TR-22 with a Mercury 250 XB that runs 80 with a single. And I ain't flashed nothing.
Your numbers are believable to me if conditions & load are right. You didn't say how much gas, gear, and air/water temps.
Doubt those are every day numbers, But I believe you've done it more than once.
Those XBs are some runners too. I don't doubt an older triton running that motor can touch 80. A newer motor will pass by when he's out of gas though
That TR22 is a light boat by today’s standards so he should hit around 80. Also the Phoenix hosts are a lot wider up front.
Pretty impressive.

Or guys that know me.
And No, I'm not talking chocked down with a tournament load, 2 people, 56 gallons of gas, etc. I didn't say that. But that is with me and what I normally fish with.
You got a boat that will run 80 on it's own? Just making a true statement.

Almost a 16 year old rig now too! Sorry to highjack ya'lls thread guys, just having fun. Proud that my rig can still run like it does. And only looks a couple years old too.
P.S. We sell Phoenix's BTW.
