With the vent holes you have to play with them,,, you want them open to help spin the prop up to speed fast but not so open that it causes the prop to slip and not be able to have enough grip to get the boat up on pad.  With my 929, 225 opti and 25 and 26 pitch tempest my best was two hole wide open nothing in them and one hole with a plug with the biggest hole they make.

If you have a jack plate I'd say come down about 1/4 inch and run her and see if anything changes on hole shot.  If not come down another 1/4 inch and do another run,,,,, if still no change I'd say you will need to drop down one pitch and run her,,,, and if it's about the same or better then raise the jack plate 1/4 inch and run it and see if it's the same/better/or worse and just go from there.  I'd stick with the tempest plus for that boat but have read others have had good luck with the trophy,,,, every boat is a bit different and then you have different drivers both in how they drive and how they are built a 5'5" 150lbs driver isn't going to have the same results as a 6'4" 350lbs driver then add in the different tournament loads and you can see how different each boat can be.

Best to get with a few buds and swap props at the lake, makes for a fun day and gives you a lot of different options without blowing a ton of $$$$$ trying to find the right prop for you.
