20 Trx 250 v8 pro xs real world performance numbers?

[jtef270]

Looking at upgrading from my 19 Trx 225 xs to a 20trx/250 v8. What performance are guys seeing out these? Tournament loaded?

2 Big guys, heavily loaded with fuel, livewells, gear, two power poles I will hit 72 easily. I have hit as high as 74.5 with 2 guys. 24p Fury 3 blade prop. It is unreal how fast this thing gets on plane and accelerates to top speed.

I have a 2019 20 trx with 12 foot talons and a hydro jack plate 52 112 ultrex ... 25 fury 3 loaded with wells full two guys both about 230lbs will hit 69 to 71 5200 to 5300 rpms. I am gong to try a worked tempest 25p and a fury 25 4 blade this weekend and see what happens. Might have to go down to 24 pitch

You need to go down 1-2” of pitch based on your numbers.

It depends on the load, most are running low to mid 70's. The most common prop is a 24Fury for all around use, 25 Fury with a lighter load.

I'm always at "tournament load" becuase I keep everything I own in my boat and one power pole. I have hit 72 with full wells, nearly full tank and just me, 220lbs. I was still pulling and I had to back out of it. I also hit 70 pretty easy with same load plus my dad and son in the boat which adds about another 400lbs. The boat is easily capable of higher speeds but I'm not yet capable of driving it at those speeds. I have not yet been able to keep it WOT long enough to see true top speed. I have the manual plate and I think the 23P Tempest+ but I might be recalling that wrong. The plate is all the way up an I need to bring it down because my water pressure is a little low and it blows out a little when it breaks over getting on plane. Gets on plane easily though regardless of load. I don't know RPMs at top speed because I'm usually to busy driving it to look.

Another local guy who posts here has the same boat with, I believe, a 24p Fury and said he has hit 78 with just him. Not sure of the load. He did say he needed to drop down in pitch because he was not reaching top RPMs

So true....Lugging the motor like that is bad!

665 needs to try a 23" fury or tempest to get his rpms up close to where they need to be.

Correction, I have a 24p Tempest+ and saw 73 yeasterday. Once I learn to drive it better I think 75 will be easy because it got to 73 pretty quick.

Awesome thanks guys

Late to the show, but I run a 25 Fury that came with the boat. I run a light load and see 77 all day at 6000 rpms. The motor likes to run high and its very easy to drive! Loved it so much my 2020 will be here in a couple weeks!

This is almost exactly how my 2019 model performed. With a light load, I hit 77. Full tourney load and a partner, I was still able to get 74-75. I can't wait to get my 2020 here soon. The new V8 really makes these boats come to life.

will order a 24 fury and maybe a 23 fury today... thanks guys

I have seen 77-78 with light load, heavy batteries though. I have a 24P Fury and it goes great! I would say that 74-75 would be more consistent readings... They are coming off my Lowrance Live unit. Hope that helps.
