Bass Cat Pantera IV 2004
2005 Merc 200HP 3.0
25P Tempest Plus
Wide open 5300 RPM Summer and 5500 or so Winter. MPH-- 66 summer 69 (chine) winter, not much trim required on this one at all. Lots of tackle, so I would say full tournament load
Stiff steering and not much lift. Cooler water in Spring and winter, I can get Chine around 68-69. Steering always seems stiff.
Holeshot seems OK considering the load. Slidemaster manual plate looks to be about 1/8" below flush. I am reluctant to move higher since steering is so stiff.
Not very impressed with the performance as it seems to take a long time to get to top speed with not much mid range at all and tough lots of steering torque.
