VMS,

All good info thanks, I'm in Northern MN.

The 23 Tempest I run has the large diameter plugs currently. I tried various size plugs on the 24, didn't really change anything. I did also try a Solas Rubex PROL3 25 pitch with the variable vents, it was all around worse. Tried several different vent settings.

My brother does have a 25 Raker that I could try. I will let you know the outcome if I try that.

I've put some feelers out on other forums and Facebook pages and the general consensus is to go to a larger diameter 4 blade prop like a Bravo 1 or Suzuki makes some as well. Could be an expensive endeavor getting it figured out, haha.

At the end of the day my boat works fine in the grand scheme. It would just be nice to run a few less rpms mid range to save on some fuel especially when I'm in Canada and going faster is never a bad thing.
