Mikeylarge, I remember when I used to own my Velocity ,I found the 26 Trophy to be one of not only one of the best top speed props but one of the best all around handling props, I thought for sure a 26" tempest was going to run faster than the trophy 26 but that was not the case. I found that by knocking out all but one of the plugs helped the boat get on plane faster. I had my trophy blueprinted but made sure not to have the blades thinned. I picked up 3 mph by having the prop tweaked. Good luck,Frank
