Slow down!!! That just plain hurt to read! Is this what you're trying to type?


Need more hole shot. My boat is 19.6ft. Eng is a 200hp merc. My prop is a tempest 23 pitch. It has vent holes all open. Topend is good. Do i need to put plugs in the prop? What are the holes for? Pvt takes a min to lay over. When it does, it takes off. I'm not sure if it bogs or what. Motor is in top shape. Had it all checked. Not sure what the problem is. Tt should plane faster. Would a jack plate help? If so, what size? I'm thinking about putting a fin on. Would that help?


If so, you'll still need to provide the prop gods with more info. Check out the stickies at the top of the prop forum. Get the info needed to answer those questions, and you'll be amazed at the results you'll get from this site.
