    new 919 on the way and now we wait.

    My new 919 will be here first week of January. Just curious what prop is everyone running on merc 4 stroke v8's and the performance numbers? I am going with lithium batteries and 8 foot raptors if this helps on prop suggestions. Thanks for the input.

    When did you place your order? I ordered mine first of August but haven’t gotten a firm date yet other than maybe in December. I also asked about props and most recommended 23 or 24 fury.

    I have had mine since June running a 24 Fury manual plate 3.25 PTP 3 AGM and Power Poles.
    I can now run 65-68 for the most part comfortably sometimes walks in the upper 60’s. 5400-5600 rpm so it’s got more than I can handle for now. Fastest I have been able to get so far was 73 I think about 5700 rpm

    Optimum RPM range is 6000-6200 which makes me think the 23 fury is the way to go for the 225 Merc 4s.

    Just to be clear, it’s not that the motor is maxed out at 5700 with the 24, I really wouldn’t know because right now that’s the max I can handle.
