[QUOTE="Velva_zv21, post: 257839, member: 5600"] On my zv18 with the 200 I couldn't get the prop to blow out at full trim, until I raised the jack plate 1". Then the prop would blow out at trim level 4.... which is about perfect cause then you have some trim to play with either direction up or down depending on your changing variables like fishing by yourself vs 5 people in the boat. Do you have the smart gauge that tells you what number your trimmed at any given time? I think you should have plenty of power to turn a 20 pitch however I tried a 21p tempest plus and had the same rpm results as you with my 200 verado, hit a good wave and it rev'd up to 5800 and I couldn't turn any higher R's than that and I went back to my 18p enertia, I suppose I coulda played with the jack plate and the tempest but I was lazy. Do the 250s come stock with that prop ? It was your first time out was ther good chop on the lake to get your boat to float on the chop? Like 2 fters? Since it was the first time i'd give it another go with different conditions, might be too much prop or not unleashed from break in mode, or try raising the jack plate an inch, even my 21 seems like the jack plate likes about 1.5" on the jack from what I've seen so far [/QUOTE]
