    Having a trophy plus worked

    Looking to hear from people that has had a trophy plus worked for more bow lift ? Would b&b help along with tip cup?

    Hopefully sumone has had one worked for more lift and can share the before and after?

    Dont really wanna put more into it if I'm gonna need better prop. Thanks

    I had one worked by DAH propellers in Burlington Wis. I was running it on a 20 foot Gambler Supersport powered by a 225 promax, with a 20" offshore mid. They recommended adding in some cupping and just a bit of thinning if I remember correctly, it did allow me to run a bit more neutral trim to achieve the same bow lift, and overall did give me better lift. I struggled with bow lift for many years. Mine was a 25" Trophy Plus.

    I have a 29p that's heavily worked with a lot of tip cup, shortened barrel and some thinning. Don't know who did it but it is a very good runner. I run neutral trim at speed. When you get on the pedal the bow rises w/o trimming the engine. That's a lot of lift. Might be my fastest prop yet.

    I have a 28 worked by DAH a number of years ago. It's a great prop on my setup right until the high 80's than it blows out. Doesn't do anything crazy other than drop the bow and slam me into the steering wheel. I believe it's because of the small diameter.

    I bought a cheap slightly dinged 28 Trophy some years ago and had the seller send it to Steve Smith. For another 250 I had a very fast prop. Fast on my SS2000 at any rate.

    Your boat has alot more natural lift than mine did or Merc 2.5 - I know where he's coming from and feel his pain....

    Just FYI DAH said they would much rather a person buys a 27 to have them work as they say the 27 is a much different prop than the 28 and can be made to be much better even though they look the same. I gotta believe they know whats what.

    I heard this but what bout 25. I heard it's even #s that didnt do so good. That's y I went with 25 instead 26. Was I wrong?heard 26 all over place and 27 is on. Was hoping b same with 25. Stock prop with rough leading edge runs 10% slip max

    The 28 trophy is a different casting then the other trophy's and came along a touch later. That being said its more about blade shape, pitch progression than "thinning".
