Hey guys. I have a 2020 Z19 has roughly 5 hrs on it now. I am just now trying to set this boat up. As of now I am running a 24p Fury 3-blade. My pad to prop is roughly 3.25in As of right now top speed with myself. Tourney load. Full tank of gas. Full livewells I am seeing 67-68 mph @ 5600 rpms I have vessel view so I know the rpms are accurate. I am using my birds gps for my speed. That is all I can turn that prop. When i first completed break in I had empty livewells and quarter tank of gas and I was able to see 69-70 after I got used to the walk. Im guessing I need to downsize to a 23p to get the extra rpms during these hot summer months.
Also I am use to a 18ft boat w/150 I know how to handle chine walk. I have driven boats with worse walk than this current Z19. One thing tho. On a long sweeping turn when I am running WOT it kind of wants to walk in the turn. I know at these speeds it is to be expected but from more experienced fast boat drivers is there a way to drive through that? Or do I just need to trim it down and little and let it eat until Im out of the turn.
Thanks for any help guys.
