I have a 18 ft starcraft with a new 115 optimax I’m running a stainless steel 13.25 X 19. Have to trim up to plane out fully do I reprop or invest trim tabs or jack plate. I’m running at Max rpms as soon as I hit trim button and plane out 48 mph gps I’m open for suggestions
I’d go with trim tabs first. thye can have a huge impact.
Then i’d put on the jack plate.
Either of these things can be done with reasonable cost, probably less than a new prop.
If you need the new prop, i’d look in ebay first…

Are you having porposing problems? If not theres no need for trim tabs. I would get a bigger pitched prop and also that is more aggressive then your current one.
No porpusing problems at all define aggressive prop

One that has more cupping and rake.
speeds just about right! I have a bud with a 189 nitro thats the same speed he runs! Maybe try a 4 blade!
