My results were reported above in this thread. Can you provide the details on the boats you know that are losing performance ? And on those boats how did the hole shot and mid range compare?

I have had much different results in favor of the new Pro XS V-8.
What year is your Tr-20, when did you repower with the Mercury Pro XS V-8, what is your prop pitch, prop height and engine...
This is entirely correct on all accounts. EFI liked a 25 Trophy plus , V-8 is running a 23 Fury now, and a 22 may be ideal. Have not ran a tempest yet, almost can't imaging better performance that...
I repowered exact same boat last Fall with a 200 V-8 Pro XS. Drag boat like hole shot and then straight to 70+ loaded. Could not be happier, wouldn't be happy with anything else.

I'll need to measure and repost to give an accurate #, along with water pressure. Its currently about 3/4" deeper than the 2S, but also giving a bit more prop torque than I like.

I cannot stop laughing at this.
After some trial and error, I think I'm getting closer:

With todays mapping and GPS, I'm not sure of any benefit to reading depth on plane. If worried about shallow water or obstructions, by the time you see a problem it would be far too late.

Once upon a time, Hbird offered $50 Lifetime Repair or Replace warranty - I had the LCR 4ID. It got condensation on the screen, so I sent it in with the $50 and presto,...
I just went through a similar effort on an old Tr/Mercury V8/Helix G4 and think it was worth it. As mentioned above the G3 will need adapters, which could become cost prohibitive.

I would recommend South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, or Texas.

Just a suggestion: Consider jacking the boat you may choose up off bunks, before buying, to look for gel coast blisters.
SAV = Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (hydrilla, eelgrass, coontail).
There are fish, but you will need to adjust and work to get bit.
I would avoid Florida and look at Georgia, the Carolinas, or...
Just returned from 4 days on Okeechobee.
It was shocking to find the lake barren of any submerged aquatic vegetation. There is nothing anywhere. No eel grass, no hydrilla, no coontail.

4 hours yesterday on initial break in. Agreed it feels like an entirely new boat.

Sorry your thread got jacked off course into a goofy discussion on flashing motors.

A floor jack under the skeg can support and help with up and down adjustments.
Anyone see advance notice of this meeting earlier today?

Also consider getting the hull up off the trailer bunks and inspecting the bottom to rule out any issues that may be lurking under there.
That EFI will melt an AGM. Literally. And likely fry some other stuff. Nothing but old school lead acid will work on EFI.
