New to the Procraft family and want to check and see if it is set up correctly. It has a Mercury 200 XS with a Tempest Plus 23P, 10" jack plate and is set at 3 1/4" below pad. I have dual power poles, one group 31 starting battery and two group 29 deep cycle trolling motor batteries. I took it to the lake yesterday for the first time and it seemed slow getting on plane. Only ran it up to 41mph and was at 5100 rpm. I this about right for this boat and setup?
Seems like you are running a lot of RPM for 41MPH. Is that from the speedo or GPS.
If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
nothing else matters.
It's from the GPS.
Looks to me like you don't have enough prop. I would expect a 24 Tempest + at least on that setup and I run a 25 Tempest plus on my 192 Super Pro, but I am no expert.
No. something isn't right. I'm no expert either but my old ProCraft runs mid 60s loaded at 5600 RPM with a 225. Try a different propeller. I'm very happy with a 25 pitch 3 blade Fury. Best of luck
Top speed was 41 and you were already 5100rpms? You need probably a 25 pitch. The slow out of the hole, could be prop vents not the right opening size, allowing too much slippage.
I agree you should run a tempest 25. I previously owned a 2003 superpro 200 with a200hp optimax. At 5500 rpm was at 70 on gps.
