Just wondering if anybody has done any prop testing with the 200 G2. Mine came with a 24 Raker HO and runs okay but I feel like there's more left. It's also hard to stay under 6k RPMS when its just my big a$$ in the boat with a full load. Has anybody tested fury or tempest and in what pitches? I've been thinking about just going to a 25 Raker HO and calling it good....but they're very hard to find used and I'm not paying $600 for a new one.

that sounds about what mine is doing except my rpm is around 5800 WOT 63 mph with full fuel, lots of tackle and 10 rods. my gravitational pull is around 255-260

Buy new props or plan on sending it to a reputable prop shop. If you buy used and don't have it put to spec by a good shop then you have no idea what you have and your stating point. Case in point. I once bought a used prop of a guy here on BBC and it looked great. When I got it I noticed it was stamped indicating it had been worked for some reason. I ran it and could tell it was not even close to where it should be because of my experience with other props. Thankfully he took it back and I didn't have to spend a couple hundred extra to have it put back to spec.
With a new rig like you have you need to know the prop is in spec for your starting point.

The Raker was the best for me.

Just had mine in a tournament today. Granted it's a little cool here in IL/MO but with me at 330 lbs, my dad at 210 lbs, a full tank of gas and all our tackle I ran right around 64/65 this morning and 63 and some change with the wells full on the way back. I still couldn't trim all the way out because I was all over 6k RPMs. I was running about 67 by myself in practice and filled the wells just so I could trim a little more. With just me in the boat and full gas and tackle but wells empty I bet I could run 6300RPM if i were to trim all the way out. I'm thinking I need to go 25 raker or tempest but was hoping somebody had played around a bit.Originally Posted by Grizzz

Mine of course is an xpress but it runs best with a fury 4 or a promax. Both of them are about equal and were better than the raker all around. I heard they were made by solas now- sure aint as good as they used to be, and about twice the money they should be if solas is in fact making them
