I would be interested in the factory's or anyone response that has gone to a 17" and how the boat handles and RPM it generates. I am turning 5800 to 5900 with the 19" that seems correct. This is carrying about 60 to 80 galloms of fuel worse with full tank.

Hope you get the issue resolved soon.

I just purchased a 235 in May, found some of the same problems out of the hole. I tried a dolphin fin but slowed the boat & raised RPM's and the boat leaned to port side out of the hole. I removed the dolphin fin & dropped the motor down one slot on transom. I recorded speeds & RPM's & compared to original height. Some were better than others but over-all I like the hole shot better and performance with the motor in the 2nd transom hole. Triumph says it should be in the third hole but I had better performance in slot 2 and this is where I left it. I haven't tried a 17 pitch but would like to hear from someone who has.
