But there are times when its calm and a longer run from the ramp to the fishing spot.

I do want to maintain the low speed planing abilities. I can hold plane at about 18 mph in my 25 but to hold plane at 12-15 would be great.
That live well in the transom will exacerbate the aft balance issue. I have mine under the LP/
chairs and she loves the weight there. Really noticeable. She sits right down and feels far more planted.

Mr. Whacker has tried as many props as anyone here. He is always trying to get the last
Nth bit of performance outta his rig. My brother has the Cyclone 4 bl on his ole Mako
221 with a 225 HO etec. He loves it. These 20`s love nothing more than stern lift .
