The poster above is right on Opti’s and hole shot.
We don’t like Talons as they hurt hole shot, even more than Power Poles. The upper motor weight really pulls the hull back when taking off. We also are not fans of Tempest propellers and prefer either a Trophy or Fury on that hull. With your load we would try a 24 Fury. We don’t think we would raise the motor unless you don’t have steering wheel torque when running on top end, then only go up 1/4” at a time.
