    High Elevation Props

    2008 Triton 19X2
    225 ProXS
    26 Tempest

    One of my local lakes is higher elevation (3500') and this boat definitely doesnt like it. It'll run, but struggles to get on pad.

    Looking for advice on a second prop. I'll fish there maybe 10 times a year so i wouldnt mind a cheaper one. Its a pretty small lake so i dont really care if i lose top end. Ive heard Turbo makes a decent "second" prop for alot less than a Merc.

    My main goal is an easier holeshot and less stress on the motor (ive had enough issues already).

    Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

    Thanks, hoping for a budget option. Not looking for great performance, just something that can get me on pad at higher elevation.
