    Have a Lund 202 GL, as we get more people, tackle, and a full live well the hole shot slows quite a bit. Already have trim tabs. How much will dropping 2” in pitch affect the hole shot? I realize it will affect the top end, but not running full open very often unless I want to have some fun. Will the difference be noticeable? The trim tabs 100% make a difference and would highly recommend them if anyone is wondering about them.

    Definitely look to some form of 4 blade if you want a strong hole shot. I just went through the same thing on my 620fs. Went from a 3 blade 23p to a 4 blade 19p. Difference was remarkable.
    Look at the rev4, q4 or bravo lt for starters. There are many other options as well.
    I lost about 3 mph on top end and empty the boat is right at the rev limiter but it does not happen real often that I have an empty boat.

    Good luck, may take a prop or two to tweak it to perfect.
