I am having 2 issues with my classic. 1st is im having issues getting the 2nd lift when running, from 50-60? 2nd is i cant get above 5700rpm
The lift issue only happens when i have a full cooler and a co angler.
i have duel poles and lithium’s in the back Ultrex, m360, solix 12 up front and a hydrowave.
i have a 24p fury 3 worked by ronnie gilbert 5600ish rpms on vesselview, 68.5-72mph depending on the temps
Might want to look at a 25 Bravo FS or a 22 Fury 3, I run both.
Mine came with a 24 Fury 3. It really improved with a 22 Fury 3.

72 mph, 6000rpm or a little more on my little local lake before I ran out of room
how was the mid range lift when fully loaded

Not too great until you get to higher speed (55+). Thinking about having it worked for better lift. I use my 25 Bravo FS in the summer though, it lifts great, but only see 68-69 on top end at upper 5k rpm. I’ve been curious what a 23 Bravo would do, but I’m happy enough with what I have.
How is the boat loaded. With Liths in the back, your probably heavy on the nose. Move stuff to the rear or put some weight in the Batt compartment. Bet it lifts then. You have a bunch of weight on the nose and if you dump all your tackle etc in the front, lift problems.

70 and change 6100-6150 RPM. 4.25 PTP lithium batteries,dual power poles, Ghost, 9 inch lowrance at bow.
Left rear compartment full of misc (fire extinguisher, ropes, tools, first side kit, etc.) Right rear (behind driver) empty for coangler. Rod locker 8 rods and rain gear. Left locker not much net, small paddle, ruler, spare trolling motor prop. Right side in front of console lures ( last I weighed it 18 lbs), right front compartment throw cushion,life jackets.
Mid range lift same as mentioned not great until 55mph. Better with 22p than 24p. Lowered motor when switching to lithium, pretty much a wash after that.
Hopefully that helps.

ive moved all the heavy tackle to the back (plastic and terminal) I did put sand bags in the bag but they quick got water logged and didnt help with the lift. The ultrex m360 and solix 12 up front don’t help either.
I did run the prop slip calculations for the 2 props im using
24p fury 3 (worked by Ronnie) is at 5% 72mph @5600rpm
24p tempest + is at 9% at 70mph @5900rpm
these numbers are in the cooler months
