Is there a way to get more bow lift on the 210 or do they naturally run flat. I was thinking or trim extenders or transom wedges but wanted some opinions from people who know more about it.

I have more lift than I could ever wish for on my 210, with the XS motor and the yammy also. I have a Bobs hydraulic 10" with no extenders, but I do have extra cup in my props. I have a scary amount of bow lift with plenty of trim left so I would think you might want to send your prop out for some extra cup added, and get it blueprinted at the same time http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif
The prop has plenty of cup and was custom built for this boat. It does carry the bow good but seems like it could use just a little more.
that just seems wierd? I am running a TXP 3 blade and looking from another boat it looks like my 210 has only the engine in the water...what prop are you turnin? I know me personally it took 3 times before I got this prop setup by Mark perfect.
210's like to run with the bow high, you need to try another prop.
I am running a custom Hydromotive OB

Not the best prop for your set up IMO. You need to try a TXP. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
I would be glad to try one. Does anybody have one I can try before I buy. Thats why I have a Hydro. I was able to try several of Todd's prop before I bought this one.
Yeah I have to agree with everyone here. My 210 has crazy bow lift. Everyone tells me it looks like only the foot is in the water. Jasons right about the TXP havent bought one yet but got to try one out a couple weeks ago , its amazing the difference putting a TXP on our boats.
Well I'm talking to a prop dealer by the house to see if I can try a TXP. The Hydro is a mean prop and I love how it drives. What is the difference between the Hydro OB and the TXP

More lift and speed with the TXP and the TXP drives better. The Hydro will have better holeshot if it has the right build.
Would you run a 3 or 4 blade TXP. I have heard both but not sure.
On the Merc, I would run a 4 blade,, but I would try both.
when i had my 250XS I tried both the 3 and 4 blade and my 210 mercury liked the 3 blade much better. Better handling and speed, hole shot was still good with the 3 blade. In my experience the 4 blade only excelled over the 3 blade in hole shot and not by a huge margin.
Well I ordered a OT-4. Today i got to try a stock 28 Pro ET. Man did the boat love the prop. A little too tall. Was barely hitting 6,000. My try to buy one or a Performer 4 and get it worked to a 27 with a B&B as a fun prop.
im still running the same prop that came with it 27t-1 and i can get the front so high i cant see where Im going although im not a tall person either http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif but I have a 10inch rapid jack and keep a light load
The 2 hulls are way different my 202 likes run flat hardily any trim a she will haul the mail with light load. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/smile.gif
