I HAVE A 96 CLASSIC W/200 EFI MARINER. IM CURRENTLY RUNNING A 25P TEMPEST. MY TOP END IS 67 MPH @ 5800 RPM. I WOULD LIKE TO IMPROVE MY HOLESHOT. IT NOW TAKES ABOUT AROUND 8 SECONDS TO GET ON PLANE. ITS BEEN SUGGESTED IN THE PAST THAT I SHOULD GO TO A 23P TEMPEST BECAUSE OF THE AGE, AND THE SUBSEQUENT EXTRA WEIGHT OF MY BOAT. HOW WOULD THE LOWER PITCH EFFECT MY TOP END? ANY OPINIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Hi, I could add some holeshot to your 25p to make it come out harder, you`ll lose around 100rpm`s. If you want to keep rpm`s up I could take some pitch out also. Give me a call, Bob Lipton Performance Props St. Charles, MO. 636-949-3121.
THANKS BOB. MY CURRENT PROP HAS BEEN SHAPED BEFORE AND IS RATHER THIN. I THINK ILL PROBABLY USE IT AS A BACKUP AND EITHER GET A NEW OR NEWER PROP. ILL SURE CALL IF I DECIDE TO REBUILD THIS ONE. GARRY
I have a 24 Trophy Plus (has PVS) that Im taking off of my Pantera thats in excellent shape–no dents, dings or burrs on the blades that Im posting this weekend for sale for $300, delivered in a Merc prop box.
