    what do you have it at now, 3.25?

    That’s probably a great height. I have 26 tempest that been “lightened thinned and blue printed”. It’s was actually for another boat but it runs almost exactly the same
    speeds but the 25 fury has way more power in the turns and mid range. Also just FYI I am gonna get a 24 fury for 100 degree days in the summer when I have 3 buddies just fun fishing.

    you got it about dialed in though. I hope you love your 919 as much as me.

    I love it! It didn't do to hot in our first tournament though. With partner and full livewells I could barely get on plane. The 2 12' talons, full wells, full tank and my partner and his gear are just to much. I'm already thinking about dumping the talons for some raptors, but now I'm curious if I should prop down already or just get a new 25 fury and hope that a new one can plane out a little better than my beat up one.

    Do you have all the plugs out of the prop? You can run the fury with no plugs so the prop will vent for a better hole shot.

    IMO the 24 would probably be the best all around prop for someone who runs with a heavy load. I’m a small guy got a 24v trolling motor and two power poles. In the summer with a partner and livewells the 25 definitely hurts the holeshot. I have a 24 fury on order.
