As many of you know, I recently joined the Bass Cat family with a 2000 Cougar, it has a 200 Mercury and all the bells and whistles. It came with a 25 pitch Trophy Plus on it, and was terrible on the hole shot. I tried my dads 23 pitch three blade and it made a world of difference. Im picking up my new Trophy Plus 23 pitch tomorrow. My question, if I get trimmed all the way up, Im throwing a 20 rooster tail. The boat with the 25 pitch on it will run 62mph at 5400 rpms at wide open throttle. I know that the three blade 23 was getting me about the same at 5800 rmps, and the same rooster tail. What are your thoughts? Am I losing performance, do I need do drip the jackplate?
