250 Pro XS 4 stroke repower

[fearme24]

Need help from the gurus. 2015 Legend V20 repowered with 2020 Mercury 250 Pro XS 4 stroke. I am currently running a Fury 3 24p.... tournament load numbers are 70mph & 5880 rpm's with good hole shot.

Prop to pad is 3.5"

From talking to folks, this motor will find its top end power above 6,000 rpm's. . I am planning on having this prop worked, B&B to achieve this.

I am also looking to purchase a Fury 4 blade. Based on these numbers, should I go with a 24p or 23p?

23P max... You might try a 23P Rev 4 if you find one to test.

You need to hit around 6200 LOADED RPM's now, so you have decent RPM's when Summer is here.

Bingo. Thanks fellas.

I would start with a 23, get it setup right and solid baseline info, then call Mark and tell him what is does and turn him loose on it
