Hey Phil, Maybe you can help me a little here. I am running an 07 PII w/ an 07 200 opti turning a 26 Trophy right now and if I really push it hard in the right conditions even w/ my partner and livewells full I can get into the limiter. I tournament fish as much in the winter as I do in the summer and I am thinking when the water cools back down this fall I will be hitting the limiter even more.(I dont stay in the limiter if I hit it, I back off the throttle and try to stay just under 100 rpms of the limiter) If Im not mistaken you have been in a PII, do you think I need to move up to a 27? I cant find anyone around here I know that has one for me to try.
