I agree.With the power you have I would start at 1/2" below pad and work up to maybe even when you have some seat time ( assuming you still have the lip on pad ).

I would consider buying a 26 with tip cup only. For me a 28 has to have tip cup also with the 225. they just feel so right the way they lift the hull up but balanced and smoooooth. Unless your buying new you have to be quick on the draw for 28 drags. Search S&F go back lots of pages in props see how fast right priced ones sell. Get used to looking at them and one comes up in that 450 or less range post them call asap and work out a deal. Snooze ya loose.:beer:
BTW tip cup is one of the cheapest things to add to a prop. Hammer, ball bearing, heat. Well maybe not so simple as that. :big grin
Since you'll probably find one in the states. Get the owner to ship to a prop shop to do the work before you receive it. Ask Roy who he would send it to that has done them for him correctly. Then ya call the prop shop let him know its on its way from who ya bought it from and give him the return address of yourself. Ask for him to put reconditioned on the way bill and you'll avoid all the nasty Canadian shipping crap, you know what I mean. USPS to Canada Post always best. Ive done this before and works great. If they can put warranty work or exchange on it even better. At any rate the value will be only what they did. 150 or so. That's legit either way.
Theres lots of great props that Im sure youll like on there, the Drag4 is one of them for sure. Especially just for lake fast running. They are really great in rough water....
That 22 that Frank Mole has is the chit my friend! Talons will stroll with the best of them. My buddy here at the Lake has a 25 that is super nasty... You know 20 years ago the GS was a pretty big boat on the lake...no more.Yeah, you are both right. Bigger boat, more fuel, less speed (unless it's something bada..). And James your right, I CAN'T go slow. If I have to cruise at 30mph, I might as well swim.....lol. My son was looking at Frank Mole's 22 Talon, which is an awesome ride. But we went from a Tunnel to the GSE as I was getting bored. Now everytime I go out in the GSE, I'm learning. I must say in 4 years, I'm still not bored. Actually, it just occurred to me that I've never owned the same boat for more than 4 years.....
This is good, more info for talk at dinner tonight.

I agree 100%. Franks boat is sweeeet. And that 22 Talon would eat some pretty big waves.
Also, my buddy has a XB2003 and I find his rides better in the rough stuff than my GSE. I have driven both boats in the same conditions and it is a noticeable difference. Now he carries a lot more weight than me, could that be the reason?
