Ok,I know there is 100s of post on this particular boat and motor setup, 2003 tr186/ xr6, but I haven’t found one that really pin points me. My son fishes high school and pretty dang good,so I want to be able to do my best on the water. Between both of us, we putting 500lbs in the boat. Then ad livewell and fuel and tackle etc.. We went yesterday on Chickamauga,perfect day really. Water was calm with little to no wind. This was the first time ( recently bought this boat) I have had all gear in boat and was able to open it up. Ok so number 1) seems really slow getting out of hole. Just guessing, 5-6 seconds till plane. 2) wide open on first launch no water in livewell 5600 54mph fully trimmed. With water in livewell on way back 51mph 5500. The current setup is a 6in jackplate and a 23p quicksilver prop. I’m not positive if it is a stainless or not. It’s not shinny,more of a dull grey color. Is the 23p tempest like everyone else is running a good choice for me? Or should I go with a 4 blade for better outta the hole? Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I’m going to try and messsure PTP today after church.
