ive got a 21' p2 and am at 3" prop to pad anyone running less then 3", if so how is it.

Can you post a pic of your jackplate showing how much of the inner part is above the outer?
Why are you thinking you need raise the motor? The P2 normally likes the plates flush.

yes
where it is at now has gave me the best control and speed, I still need seat time of course but I am curious where other folks are in adjustments.
Mine was shipped flush with a Fury 3. Going to install a Bravo 1 this afternoon. Should I raise it 1/2" or so for the Bravo?Originally Posted by 06 SB
I would try 1/4 above then try 1/2” above. The Bravo I ran on my PII liked 1/2” above the best.

I have a new P2. at flush it is 4 inches. i have raised it 1/2 inch to start with and just went from 24p fury to 23p fury. I wasnt getting near the rpms at WOT that it should
I hit 71 mph yesterday I am running the 23p fury, I am leaving it at 3" for now I may play with it another time
how is the chine with that setup, i was have to overtrim to try and get rpms up and mine is a little wild. I'm hoping the setup you describe gets it under control a bit
bassangler88, what RPMs were you seeing at 71 mph? Just curious.
I was running a 2 stroke, I have sold my boat but on my p2 a tempest ran better than a fury. The four stokes are a completely different deal. But 71 is pretty good and the p2 will accelerate faster than any other hull out there besides maybe an Allison. Also I don’t know if this is the case with the four stroke but the opti got stronger with more hours on it, in turn ran a little faster.

jusmangrum, was that a tempest plus prop or the older tempest A45?

I dont recall i will run it again this weekend and reply back
Depends on which motor and gearcase you have
Thank You Leon Pugh
i just raised mine to 3 inches, went to a 23 fury. rpms much better at a hair over 6k. 70 and change with a little more to go but I ran outa lake. At 4 inches and 24 fury which was how it came from dealer rpms were 5700 ish and the chine was awful. not quite there yet but much improved. hydraulic jack plate has been ordered and that should make easier to really dial it in. I do plan on running again with the 24 fury at the higher jack plate setting to see what happens.
