Sputter,
Sorry about the delay.
I think we can get some more MPH, increase holeshot, lower planing speeds and give you claws in turns and rough water.
First - raise the motor 2 holes, assuming it is mounted in the lowest position.
2nd- Contact the local Yamaha dealer and get a PRO-Series 23 pitch x 14 1/2 dia. SS prop and the 21 pitch, test them both
for speed, holeshot, turning, planing speed, load carrying( three buddies, beer n gear) Pick the one that meets your
needs.
If the RPM is slightly high on the 21- you can lower the motor one hole. Remeber its better to have a little too much
RPM than not enough, 100-200 RPM is OK , you can control it with trim/throttle.
These props are hi-Rake (hull lift) Progressive Pitch (holeshot/top end) Cupped ( lift/bite ) and Vented (holeshot)
This prop won't be cheap but, it will turn your boat into a monster compared to the old prop.(keep for spare)
Throw the Stingray/dolphin as far away from your boat as you can !!!!!!
The 'LIST' to port-left. Move batts /anchor and whaterver else to the starboard. Ckeck to see if the motor is mounted
on the centerline. Remove the 80 lb weight. Move bow storage heavy gear to the starboard side as well.
What side is the TM mounted on ? is it to port, offset a lot ? Trim tab - cut it flush, file smooooooth and bolt back on.
Heavy gear / cooler, behind you. Besides this , all you can do is add hull trim tabs but, that is a last resort and I
feel you should talk/ ride with a dealer before you get to that point .
