Thread: Holeshot question

What dia. and pitch prop is he running? He may need to drop down in pitch....it will cut his top end speed some but will make it come out of the hole better. Actually the jack plate should be helping him.

How's it doing top end, if you improve holeshot you most likely will give up some top end. 8 inch set-back is a positive and should help not hurt.

My boat only has a 90, with 27 gallons in the back and would jump plane very quick.
He has a 8 inch jack plate. Does the extra 8 inches mechanically added that much weight? Maybe he needs a 4 blade prop?

You forgot to mention it also jumps trailer very quick, too! :p Hands Clapping

You mean he doesn't have it back from being repaired??????????????

How the heck does he know about HOLESHOT then? From his one and only trip?

PS I know nothing about a JACK PLATE but someone here should. SOMEONE?

Es that extra motor is gonna be a BIG factor. With my prop boogered up, I cant get on plane with a half tank of gas, full livewell and two people, but if one moves to the front, and I dont hit it wide open, it'll bite and plane quickly... I think G is right, a drop in pitch may be in order or else a 4 blade will launch it on out of the hole
