[Brownie13]

What Speeds are you guys seeing with the Mercury 250 Pro XS four Stroke? CX20 and CX21.

Lets just say mid 70s

My CX21 with Fury 23 top end (remind you that I'm still learning where the jack plate should be) 73

[Buck456]

Just now got the right prop for my cx 20 pro. So far tournament loaded with 2 people 73, 74 in the summer heat
Have hit 77 alone twice.

[Brillo]

You must have put a 23 on it!

Not a 23. I've got a worked 25 tempest plus. Worked closer to a 24 than a true 25. The 77 was in cooler weather.

Our dealer demo CX21 loaded heavy (2 blades and a 36v ultrex) will run 73-74mph with no chine walk.

Brad Krone - question..what prop are u running? I have a CX 21 with a 23 Fury. I get a little blow out coming on plane and thinking of inserting a large PVS?? I'm learning where to place the hydraulic jack plate. I've learned that Caymas like the Merc low.

Thanks tom

Thanks tom

do you mind sharing your set up? I just ordered a CX-21 w/ Merc but it will be coming with a 24" fury. I'm curious to know your prop to pad.

The boat is set up with a 10" Atlas jackplate. One of our managers Don has the most seat time in the boat and has experimented with a few props and pitches. He likes a 25p Tempest Plus the best. He said it lifts the boat much better then a Fury. He runs the medium vent plugs and agreed the 4 stroke OptiMax runs better set a bit lower.

Brad - thanks for the info..much apreciated.

Randy - I hve a hydralic plate and start it at 2 or 3 to get on pad. ocassionally i'll get some blow out. Thats why I might insert one large PVS to see it that helps. I'm trying to determine what level to set and forget..right now it looks like at 3.
