Guy's why would someone put a set of Transom wedges on this boat. I am turning a 25 fury at 6000 rpm's, running 70 mph. Runs great just has terrible hole shot due to the wedge's.

I don't think the wedges is your problem. It sounds to me like it's in the Prop. Do you have PVS holes and are they plugged or open to what size. You may just need to use a larger open plug or maybe even no plugs.

I am running no plugs. The engine trimmed all the way down has very little tuck to lift the back up, push the bow down on take off.
I have a 518. Mine was the same until I put a fin on my lower unit. My rig would also porpoise a little if I went slow. Made a big difference. I use the smallest one I can find. I never could turn my 25 tempest 6k more less a fury. Your running
They could have been added by someone who was more concerned with top speed than overall performance. The wedges add a few more degrees of trim allowing more lift, but from the sounds of it only added top end and took out the responsiveness out of the hole.
is prop vent holes open? what is rpms on take off when floored?
