    Looking for prop help

    I recently bought a Blazer 190 pro V that has a Yamaha 150 pro V on it. It has a 25 Tempest plus on it right now. My question is, is there a better prop for this setup? The boat has a decent hole shot and it will run 60 mph with just me in it but it doesn’t seem like it’s getting the bow lift that my Sprint did with the same prop. I’m turning 5500 rpms and I’m around 2.5 below pad. Should I try a fury? I know this is not a 70 mph boat with a 150 on it but shouldn’t I see more than 60 mph? Hull is 2011 and motor is 2008

    I don't anything about that hull, but 25 just seems a bit much to me. A 23p Tempest on my similar weight hull with a 150 horse seems about perfect efficiency wise.

    That motor has a 2:1 gears so it should turn it and that's showing right at10% slip.
