    Just bought a 2008 Champ 210 ... Prop Advice

    I just pulled the trigger on a nice 210 model year 2008.
    I'm going to put a new 250 ProXS 4-stroke on it and am looking for Prop advice.
    Mark at Croxton doesn't have anything in stock at the moment, so I'll need other options ....

    Anyone running something similar?

    Thanks in advance!

    Like Matt said, 24 Fury is working pretty good for me.

    Assuming y’all talking 4 blade fury? I couldn’t get the lift Needed out of a 3 blade fury when I had mine. Tried my best to do better than a tempest, but always went back to it.

    Try dropping the jack plate for more bow lift (4"-4 1/2 PTP). The wide bodies typically like a lower prop to pad compared to narrower beam champs Typically 3 1/2-3" PTP).

    I done know about that. My 206 is happier @ 3.250" PTP than it was at 3.750" or 4.250"

    That makes sense with your XB which rev's to 6200.

    Thanks everyone, been reading on this forum for a while now... I'm glad to be able to contribute soon. This seems like a really good group & i appreciate all the knowledge so far.

    29p lab finished cleaver. Chicks really dig the cleavers.

    On a serious note, you're gonna need to update your profile photo from that Alumacraft.

    One of my buds has a 2018 Charger 210 with a new 250 Merc 4 strock. Best prop for him is a 25 Fury 4

    Broke in and WOW it’s a sweet ride! Tourney loaded, 2 big guys & 1/2 tank - Turning a Tempest 25P today touched 69 @ 5500RPM .... still climbing when it had a little walk. I plan to experiment with more jackplate & trim combinations, and loading the boat a bit different.... fished for an hour & even got the skunk �� out -
