Need help again from the great guys that know here on IDO 
Has any one try this one or is there something better I should B looking at?
I got a 200XRi Merc on a warrior boat
Also would like 2 know about raising motor
Right now I’m on the top holes
I am not getting the RPM’s that i would like 2 see
While running WOT I can not see the plate that this would mount on
Any help would b nice 
I would agree that you should give raising the motor a shot. It’s actually pretty easy, or should be. I did this on my Crestliner last year and my RPMs did rise a bit. I will say I did not get the results I was expecting, but it did help. The thing I learned was that you won’t know what it’ll do for each boat until you actually give it a try. Just make sure you use lots of sealant when putting it back together. 
As for the hyrdofoil, I’ve also seen some boats really benefit from having one, while others did not. I’ve had good luck with the SE series. One that I would not recommend is the Stingray. Have had them break on me and generally not perform as well as the SE series.
I do have experience with hydrofoils and smart tabs. My general experience is hydrofoils work well on small boats with smaller engines but can cause some problems on larger boats. Generally speaking there are better solutions such as a prop change or smart tabs. If you have issues with bow rise and/or purpoising I would recommend smart tabs, although a change in prop alone may help.

My understanding (not experience) is that you should raise the engine prior to messing with anything else, however raising the engine may not yield the results you want without a prop change. Some props run better than others high just under the surface.
What RPM’s are yougetting ot WOT trimed up?

What RPM’s are yougetting ot WOT trimed up?
I’m at 5100 and can trim all the way to tilt if I what
Just shooting bigger rooster with no more rpm’s or speed
Motor is an 200XRi with max rpm’s of 5800
I am running a 23 pitch tempest prop
Have also had a 24 on speed and rpm’s are real close
But I get less slippage with the 23″ and a little better cruising speed
Cruising speed is what I’m more after since it takes less gas
But I what best all around performance that I can receive
I figure getting to max RPM’s will B a good place to start
Thanks again 4 any input

Just curious which hp motor you have. 
What size Warrior?
If you have a 150, 23 Tempest is your problem. That’s a big prop. I’d jump down to a 21 pitch and see how it works.
I have a 23P Trophy Plus 4 blade on my 175 xri Skeeter 18′ and I easily reach 5800 RPMs trimmed. I’m quite happy with the 4 blade, so I’m sticking with it. I wouldn’t put a 23P Tempest on this combo, I’d go to a 21P. The Tempest is a large diameter prop, so dropping it down in size is recommended.
21 or 19p tempest will get your r’s where they should be and help your holshot. take out vent plugs for additional hole-shot help.
As far as hydrofoils go the edge is the best and IS recommended for high hp boats. Many of the skeeter and ranger owners use them to help with holeshot, porposing, and staying on plane at much lower speeds. I personally installed them on three different rangers with Yamaha F250’s – one 620 and two 621’s with great results.
Let me know if you have further questions.
