Yam,
Contact Pat Geoff or google up Bass Boat Central and post on "Setups by Todd." Either will answer your question. It depends on whether you are looking for top end performance or better hole shot etc. Good luck.

Details....
What boat?
What are your current results? Speed, rpms, lift, handling, water pressure, hole shot time?

that looks like a 20ft. nitro. with a 225 efi, it will depend on the load you carry. and if you have a jackplate, and the prop shaft height set correctly.
if all is perfect YES. the 26 trophy should be fine.
the EFI needs to turn some pretty good rpms, so the 25p trophy may be best!
I've always found a 25 tempest to be the best, or a 25p FURY. i like the bow lift of the 3 blades on heavier boats like the NIRTO's.

That's your boat in the picture...
Steve is dead on.
I'll add to it, on the quite a few nitros I've set up, the trophy was never the #1 choice. Nitro's need/like a high rake three blade best like a tempest.
I've never setup a 911/929 Nitro that could turn a 26 with a full fishing load. 25 was about it with a 225.
