Sounds like you need a trophy prop, not a chopper........

Also agree. The Glastron will not like a Chopper nearly as much as a thru hub prop. The Trophy will truly excell no your hull. I'd try a 25p Trophy Plus and start at 2" below the pad. Do you have a jackplate? 6" would be ideal. :cheers:

I'd think he'd be fine with the prop he has now and a little set up. Nothing wrong at all with a Tempest except they bite a little hard out of the hole, sometimes smaller motors have a little trouble spooling up.

:iagree:don't know if you have a jackplate, but if you could raise your motor it would free up your prop out of the hole and give you more rpm and speed
