This is the 100 lb/ft hub kit, with the conical bushing.

Hope I didn't screw anything up! The conical bushing you are talking about the black piece on top right?

[Savage]

Correct.

Tritons are made of all composite and don't absorb water like wood hulls do. Prop to pad should be 2 1/2" to 3" under pad. Did you dump all the old gas out of the boat tank and check the pulse fuel pump for holes and the VST for little pieces of old hose debris. Sounds like you not getting enough fuel and that old hose will cause it. That boat should run 70-72 easy.

Triton uses the same floatation foam as the rest of the industry. This stuff can, and will absorb water. And a lot of it.

Check for hull blisters. If the boat has blisters under the bunks it will slow it down because the gel coat is no longer smooth. I had them on mine and they are a pain. Mine is an 03 TR-21.

I have a ton of them and they have not affected my performance

05Triton, sorry about the bum scoop on the torque. I have a prop lock and it states in the install guide to torque to 55.

I don’t have any issues with water absorption...I installed my four blade 25p trophy prop the other day and got 68 mph on the GPS. I either have an issue with my tempest prop or the black sleeve That was in the prop.

Why are you chasing set-up when you stated it used to run 70 with the current set-up?
