Prop Help / Set-Up Help Please

[Michael49]

I am having some trouble getting on plane when heading in stiff current / stiff wind.
Boat bogs down, no rpms and I can't get the bow down.
Hole-shot and getting on plane is fine 99% of the time. The other 1% is frustrating.

Set-Up:
2013 Ranger Z519
225 Pro-XS / Torquemaster Lower Unit
Tempest Plus 24P with (3) "Large Plugs"
10" Manual Slidemaster
8 ft PP Blades
4 batteries
Pad to Prop = 3-15/16"

Any advice .... ?
Perhaps remove a plug ..... I know little about props
I am not concerned with losing a couple mph top end ..... I rarely travel 65+ as-is

I would definitely pull 1 or possibly 2 plugs.

What RPM at WOT?
One large plug only and do not start trimming up until nose starts to drop, you may need to even lift just a little as it nosed over to prevent to much cavitation
