Got me a 23 tempest to play with on my 187/150.
Hoping y'all can save me some trial and error.
What's the best pvs plug combo for holeshot?
Thanks

On my 187/150 Opti rig, I used the plugs with the largest holes on my 23p Tempest Plus...
I start with them all out. If you blow out during the hold shot, start restricting or plugging one hole at a time. Luckily, I cold get out with mine open and without blowing out. I think there are 2 sizes of restrictors besides the solid plugs.
Different rig (183) but this is what works best:
2 large plugs and one open.
Another option is custom tuning to your liking but the takes time:
Install 3 full plugs
Take a cordless drill and bit set along with you
Start increasing hole sizes until the boat is set up just right.
This procedure works well with a buddy or wife as a helper

Thanks guys. I unfortunately know the routine but was just hoping to avoid it.![]()
I figured there'd be a consensus I could go with.
Two solid and one open would have been my chosen starting point but I'm still suffering from being a rookie with these hulls.
After basically a decade in the same type hull, it's tough to go from knowing most of what there is to know about your boat to be a complete idiot.

I run with all of them out on my 01 187( 200 merc)
suggestion, start with them all out , it is a lot easier to put one in with prop on the boat than it is to get em out
