    Tempest or tempest plus

    I should be picking up my brand new FXR 20 Apex within the next week. I’ve read in the past how the tempest runs really well on the skeeters with the 250 sho. I’m assuming a 25 pitch? And is it the tempest or tempest plus guys are running with good success?

    Tempest plus is a bit more metal to keep the ears attached. Just saying that's the difference, so a normal may be faster but won't last as long

    Make me an offer It will never touch the water I’m taking it off right away when I get the new boat because I already have a 25T1 and 25T2 from my other boat.

    Definitely keep the T-1, if it's vented. Those props are in their own category of precious metals. Sell the T-2 ASAP, and get a nice set of Tempest props. I run the 25p and 26p Tempests. The 25p Tempest is simply amazing. My 26p Tempest is fast, but it doesn't lift the way I would prefer.
