Hi Greg,

What motor are you running? Horse power wise?

According to the Triumph web site, the specs state the 23.5 uses a max 300HP motor.

I have found that dealers put on lower power motors to reduce the cost of the boat, however, sometimes, that leaves the boat a bit underpowered.

Example, my dealer sells the 170CC with a 60HP 4 stroke motor. I wanted a 2 stroke with the max. HP available for my boat. So I opted for the 70HP since Yamaha doesn't make a 75 (max for my boat) in 2 stroke.

The extra 10 horses and the reduction of 100lbs off the transom makes for a quick small boat.
