My 98 Sabre with a 150 Merc has a 24p Trophy on it. During heat of the summer with a good load (2 guys, full of fuel, good amount of tackle) if I get on it and am not paying attention the motor can turn well over 5800rpms and still be climbing in rpms and speed. All vent holes are open Im not worried about speed, I want good hole shot and protect the engine. 5600 is redline according to the engine spec. All vent holes are open and I think my holeshot is pretty good( never had anything to compare to). Should I go up to a 25-26 pitch or just not go to WOT. Cost is a big issue, so any recommendations on brand? Should I stick with a Trophy or is there something better for less $.In order of importance1. Protect the motor2. Holeshot3. Cost. Money is tight Ill have to sell this one to get another.
