Lower Speed than expected

I'd say a 25 T1 or a worked 25 Tempest would be a good choice for your rig assuming everything else is up to snuff.

This. ^^^ A 23p will be too light. A 24 maybe good.

Didnt get out due to the weather, shooting for the weekend.

your getting great advice here but one thing I dont think that is getting stressed is the fuel system that needs addressed. the hpdi is a great motor.. but even with a new head, the fuel system, to include the filters and injectors, need to be serviced. There is a dealer in southern indiana that will get you fixed up. changes all the filters inside and out and tunes the injectors.. Friend says his motor has never been so strong. I can get the info if you want.. pm me.. but you need to know this service isnt free. but is said to renew the life of the hpdi... I had one and loved my hpdi.. but make sure you pay attention to the fuel system.. ethanol will kill that motor..

This^^^^^^;!!!! and I alredy mentioned the fuel system also. That motor and boat can pull a 27t1 to mid 70s.Btw, I have that prop for sale in perfect 10 condition. Last thing you want to do is to fish a tournament!!!

Here is the update, got the boat out and ran it and ran it, figured there is something more to it. Took it into the shop where i work and ran it in the test tank, found a water leak in the base gasket, going to get that replaced and go from there.
