    You'll have to put some plugs in it to help with the holeshot. You're letting too much exhaust out of the prop.

    RPM's are good. Water pressure is good. Speed isn't. You've got a lot of slip coming into play. First thing I'd do is put a couple more plugs in that prop. I'd also think you could turn a 26 with that setup.

    Sorry I can't be more help.
