Get tight heads or get yours cut to get more compression in th motor that made a big difference for me with my stock motor and with a 30 chopper 2 with 3 ppl and that stock 200 with a little compression i had no problem out of the hole... now My prop shaft was 2in above the pad and With a 34 et it would come out no problem with 2 ppl...I would put wedges on the transom cause I ain't have enough negative trim after 96-98mph but I would try putting a little compression in it

I have an 18 motion(action copy), for all around use , loaded down with passengers and cooler a 26 pitch big ear chopper works the best for me. One time I tried a raker and I had a lot of slip even while under way. I figured the prop shaft was probably just too high for the raker to hook up good so I just threw the chopper back on.

My best top speeds that I have seen I got with a 29srx but for carrying weight such as passengers and for geting up on plane the best all around performance for me has been with a big eared chopper.
