I need help with a better hole shot

[boothealspur]

I have recently acquired a 1997 Stratos 201 Pro Elite with a 225 Evinrude and 13.25x25 Renegade 4 blade prop. It is horrible out of the hole. I am not to interested in super fast speeds. I would be happy with a 50 mph boat or better if possibe. Any suggestions?

Get a Tempest or Trophy with pvs holes and you can tune them for great hole shot. And then you can tune even more with motor height adjustments.

I have a 99 with a 200, my hole shot is great. I am running a temptist 24 pitch. its about 3.5 off the pad. Stratos recommends the motor be on the 3rd hole with the jackplate even. I have found that to be the best set up for me. Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply. I'm new to this so what do you mean by the jack plate being "even"?

[boothealspur]

Thanks for the advise. What are pvs holes?

They are exaust vent holes in the prop which you can tune for holeshot with different sized plugs.
