01TR 21 buying a new 250 pro xs

[shaybag]

I have a 2001 Tr21 Dc I run a 225 EFI right now but I will have a new 250 on it in a couple weeks.
Old motor ran 70 MPH last fall with a 25 Trophy 8" manual JP 2.25 " below the pad. Just wondering what prop would be best on this boat with the new 250.
Not changing the JP and any suggestions engine height for the new motor.

3 ptp a good place to start 23p fury 3 a good prop or a tempest plus also might be able to go 24p

Tempest runs way better than a Fury on a Triton hull. I would find a 24" pitch Tempest.

I agree with bassfisher444-I'm running a 24 Tempest on mine. Hole shot, mid-range and WOT is awesome.

Warren what is your speed?

[Warrenroadie]

Only 16 hours on motor. Have been at 75 several times during runs in a tournament. I'm not the type that goes out and just does WOT. The fastest I normally drive my boat is just separating myself from other boats leaving tournament launch. 4S is a different feel than 2S when on the pad. I don't know why. I installed all new hydraulic steering on my upgrade and don't have the same amount of movement that I did with 2S. Anyway, I believe Tempest is the best prop for older Triton hulls. Have a great day.

Kind of off topic, but since I know it will happen eventually. Anyone know how to go about getting a 250 capacity tag for a TR20?

Yes get them here. They are great to deal with. I have purchased several decals, from them and they have always been top quality. They can custom make you anything you want as well if you send them a picture with dimensions even a new ID and serial number tag for your outboard.

I run a 26" Tempest+ 3 blade on a TR 20 DC with a 225 Opti, 77-78 mph. Are you putting on a new 4 stroke Pro XS or did you find a NOS two stroke? Seems like you'd be better with a 25" Tempest? I'm going to experiment with a 27" Tempest+ here soon to see if I can swing it with light weight lithium batteries. May have to cup the 27" down, but I'd give up a little holeshot for top end, but to each, his own...

A Optimax is way different than a 4 stroke. That 250 4 stroke likely won't turn a 25P Tempest to enough RPM unless it is lightly loaded.
