Got a friend who has a 2002 XB03 with a stock pad. Motor is a 2008 200 DFI with a JC's cone.
Question is, with a stock pad does the boat require more lift from the prop?
We tested 4 of my props that run great on my XB03 which has about 30% of the pad. none of my props produced the bow lift needed.
The only weight on the bow is a Motorguide 24 volt Tour series Trolling motor.
the 4 we tested are.
2- Hydromotive O/T, 27 and 28 pitch
1- Spinelli DR-4 30 pitch
1- Hill Marine Eagle 4 30 pitch (modified)
The only prop that did not hit the limiter is the Eagle 4, 82.9 MPH @ 5800 RPM's.
