I RAN A 89 SABRE W/175 MARINER EFI FOR YEARS. WHEN MY BROTHER TOOK IT OVER HE HAD ARK LA TEX MARINE, HE WOUND UP WITH 24/25 TROPHIES. THE 24 WOULD BE BETTER FOR YOUR NEEDS, I THINK, AS THE 175 ON THIS BOAT WAS BETTER SUITED FOR SKIING SETUP. THAT WOULD EQUATE TO A BETTER HOLESHOT.BY THE WAY, YOU DID NOT MENTION IF YOU HAD JACKPLATE AND WHAT YOUR SETTING IS ON IT. THIS MAY BE JUST A CASE OF LOWERING THE JACKPLATE IN 1/4 INCH INCREMENTS. HOPE THIS HELPS.96 Eyra/12 Mercury 175 Pro XS with 2015 single axle trailer2017 Victory Gunner
