    Prop Performance On a 225 Opti

    Does anyone run a 24p tempest plus on their 225 Opti?
    Currently I’m running a 25p tempest plus and I’m only getting 5200 rpm’s out of it. Was thinking of changing to a 24p, thoughts?

    Depends on some other factors. I turn a 25 tempest plus to 5700 on my hull at 3.5 p to p.

    Doubtful you'll go any faster, unless the current prop is hosed, but definitely not good to be running With RPM'S that low.
