StephenI just sold my 03 that I had for the last 7 years. I ran through a lot of props and set ups looking for the magic prop. When I sold it I was running a 24 tempest which provided the best set up for a heavy load and some respectable speeds. the 23 tempest had increible hole shot and would run the boat into mid 60 easily, then I had it reworked and lost a couple Mph. I ran a 25 tempest and with a lite load and high on the plate I could book down the lake 67 best speed with full fuel and 2 on board, hole shot suffered once you fill those livewells and this was with the XR 6. My advice would be take your time and learn how to really drive in all weather conditions and make small adjustments and put in seat time to understand what that adjustment made, take good measuremnets and keep a good log of settings and results. In the end you will learn so much about your boat and be able to feel real good about getting the most out of your set ups. Once I finished tweaking I made marks on the plate that so I could quickly change depending on the loads I would have on board and what I was wanting to accomplish on the particular trip. I never ran any Trophy props on mine so I cannot offer any direct advice on thoseTreat everyday like it might be the last
