2007 Monterey 180 FS performance question

Recommended Posts

Hello all

ee have a 2007 FS 180 with 4.3 l alpha one drive 1:62. It had a stainless 19 pitch high five prop which we tried all various plugs on and could not get satisfactory results. We want improved hole shots as we often pull a slalom skier from deep water. We recently tried a Piranha 18 pitch composite and it was even slower (30 seconds) to get on plane. Boat is not loaded to the gunnels and I would expect more performance with the set up. It has quite a wake and seems to displace a lot of water compared to other boats I have owned. Perhaps I’m expecting too much from it? WOT, with Piranha is 4800 and about 42mph. It has great handling, picks up fast, when on plane, but out of the hole it’s horrible. Anyone else have this, or similar, boat and able to  share what prop they are using with good results.
