    Get it propped correctly first. Prob going to need a 23p, but could be different depending on what model prop

    I think most of your problem is prop. See if you can borrow 23 pitch Bravo or Trophy Plus and try it. Make sure all holes in prop are fully plugged.

    Didnt see that you were getting another installed. Do that, then prop correctly, I doubt you will be able to turn anything bigger than a 23p with 2 talons. A CB designs (Chris Bailey, he is on here) foil could help too

    I agree- you're going to need to drop to a 23P (and will very likely end up raising the engine).

    Maybe they should get you a 20" engine instead of a 25". This would fix all your issues!!!!!!

    THANK YOU for tying in the reference. I guess that means that "you will very likely end up raising the engine" was a big understatement!
