are there any things you can do to improve your holeshot without breaking the bank???

thanks

no, the cheapest way is to either lose alot of weight in the boat, or the next cheapest way is to get a whale tale which will drop your top end speed.  The best way though is to get a stainless steel prop that is meant for hole shot.  for this you need to talk to an expert and he can recommend the best prop for your boat and engine.

The Whale tale is out of the water when your on plain   

I have this one on my 225

No drop in top end and if properly trimmed I get NO nose rise on take off. A 225 with this launches my 201 pro to plane in less than 3 ft of water.

On a side note it improves the handling in rough water. Trim down at 3/4 throttle and the nose stays down and just plows thru the 2ft rollers on Kissimmee.

I have a set of these on my boat.  My hole shot and handling both improved.

This model has the least drag and still does the job.

Is it? I don't have one, and I guess I've never really paid much attention to them. I've seen them advertised as eliminating chine walking. How do they do that if they're out of the water?

X2 Great product for about $100. Go to there site and watch the videos. Overtons has them and if for some reason they do not fit return them to the nearest Gander mountain to save shipping.
