189 TRX setup

Was able to run the boat last night at ~2.75" below pad. I can hit 6000 rpms pretty easily now at 60 mph. Hole shot seems to be very good too. I think I'm going to send of my 22 tempest to get it repaired and it will most likely be my all around prop.

Have you been able to run your 22 pitch yet? Curious what RPMs and speeds you will see. I tried a 22 Fury3 and seems to be running similar to my 22 Tempest, maybe slightly higher RPM and speed but only slightly at 5720 and 62 mph in 90+ degree temps. I did not change PTP (3”). The Fury has all plugs removed. Other characteristics is slightly less bow lift at mid speeds and less slip at low to mid speeds too.

Was able to run it this weekend.

With my 22 Tempest repaired by Croxton, prop to pad is ~2.75" below pad, I was able to hit 61.5 mph in ~85 degree water. RPMS were around 5800.

It is hot down here in TN, I feel like come cooler temps, I'll hit 64ish mph.

I did try to raise the jack plate to 2.5" below, but lost speed.

Leaving it at 2.75" below and calling it good.

When the prop repair was done did Croxton due blueprint work as well or did you pay for just a repair?

Repair only. I don't see a need for blueprint, thinner blades might equal more speed but easier to bend or get damaged.

Well the humid weather sure does takes its toll on the performance. It was 96 today and very humid here. Fished a Tuesday night, me and my youngest son. full tank, both wells full, I could hit 6110 rpms and 63-64 mph. But I think the overall weight added is a bigger speed/rpm robber. Fastest I have seen yet with 2 people and 3/4 tank of gas and equipment was 68 at 6200 rpms.
