    what is the preferred tempest pvs set up?

    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.
    ....but I'm adapting

    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
