    That motor should be turning 4750-5250 RPMs at WOT (wide open throttle). A 4 bladed prop will give you a better hole shot.

    You would be better off with a 22-23. 26 is way to much for that set up. It will improve your hole shot for sure.

    I know this is an old post but I have the exact same boat/ motor with the exact same problem. What did you end up getting for a prop & how did it work for you? My Nitro came from the factory with the Laser SS 26p that's on it now.

    If this problem just started I would check the plug in the prop, I know it sounds silly but it sure made a difference on my buddies triton

    It's never been terrific outta the hole since it was new but tolarable. I was alot lighter than & usually just my young son and sometimes by wife on smooth water. Now I'm finally fishing alot more, 3 large guys, full fuel tank, cooler full of adult beverages and it takes forever to get out of the water and I usually drain the well first. Throw in rough seas and your really screwed.
