Bow Lift ?

[clownshoes]

I own a p4 and my t partner runs one as well. I have driven with a 26 trophy, 26 raker, and 26 tempest. the trophy seemed to run best SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the 3 blade props. My partner runs the 4 blade 26 and the plate is so low it is near the limit of the steering bar with trimming the boat up for the transom saver. That boat ran 70 tuesday night with a full tank, and both of us in it. My experience with the trophy is that the bow lift is a less dramatic feeling with the trophy but that prop really lifts and holds the ENTIRE boat up better than the 3 blades and is less load dependent. Both of my 3 blade props I run by laying on the trim up button after out of the hole, the boat will eventually “hop” up once and I tap it down once and I am gone. 73.9 gps yesterday…I imagine the 3 blade might give the bow up position you’re looking for but the flatter ride of the trophy is just an all around better performer for the 2 p4’s I fish from. As for the hydraulic plate, the manual is so easy that I don’t see the benefit overriding the cost difference for me in Arkansas.

When referring to height , are you measuring the inner plate from the front or the rear?

Inside plate to outer plate, drivers side, top. And i’ve tried PVS plugs and have two small and one med. in now, will play some more, but not so bad as to bother me, it just does it fully loaded with water in wells,,,,and i don’t usually require much water in there ! D.
