    Prop suggestion

    Ihave 2017 FX20 LE with a SHO 250. Prop is a 27TI

    not performing like I would like. Bogs down on take off and just not great overall.

    what is everyone else running with similar boat?

    What’s your RPMs and speed on top end? I think a 27 is too much prop, a 25p t2 would probably be better. I am not a fan of any of the Yamaha props for carrying a load, they all seem to fall on there face when weight is added. I prefer a 4 blade and currently running a razor 4 xl. Bravo is another great choice and many run the tempest as well

    I have a 2016 20fx with same equipment. I run a 24 Solas scorpion that turns more like a 26 pitch prop and the boat really likes it. Rpms right at 5900 and mid 70s speed just me in boat. Jumps out of hole great. I also tried a 27 tempest that I couldn’t get rpms out of and was a dog out of the hole and on top end
