Just purchased a used boat - hole shot not good, speed questionable.
2010 Triton TR18 Pro
2010 Mercury 150 Optimax
Prop to pad 4" - no jack plate
WOT 5050
Top Speed 51 gps
Previous owner had Tempest 23P
* Previous owner had dinged up the tips of the prop. I was getting the above info. Wanted a better hole shot. Put on a Trophy Plus 23P. Hole shot worsened and felt like it was struggling to get up to speed. Do I need to go down in pitch to get a better hole shot?
