The 23 tempest will give that hull a blistering holeshot and scoot the boat to low mid 60s. Ive never messed with my vent plugs…..no need to…..I can load the boat up with gas, tackle, two big people, fill the live wells and the boat still has a good holeshot.Ditto on what jignpig said…need more numbers in order to help out.
