    Kinda going through the same process I have a 2016 z519 with a 2020 225 pro xs. Just put a 24p fury 3 blade on it and really like how it runs. I have it set 3.25” ptp and havent had a chance to try for a top speed run but it runs mid to high 60’s VERY comfortable I think I could go to a 23p to get a little more rpms and get it in that “sweet spot” as I’m sitting about 5500 at wot. I spoke to mark Croxton and his suggestion was a 23p in his razor xl which I would like to try but I just bought the boat and the wife isn’t super thrilled about me buying a bunch of different props to try nor do I have the funds to support that experiment with the cost of props! Keep us posted though as I’m interested to hear your results and what you go with!

    So far I have ran a bravo xs 24p and it ran 65@ 6000rpm
    and a 22p fury for 66mph @6060 but didn’t have the lift and the mid range as the bravo had

    any bravo1 based prop in a 23p works well need to prop for 6200 ask mark about the throttle body upgrade also wakes the 225 up

    I ran a 23 Tempest, a B&B'd 25 Tempest (from my old 2-stroke motor) and new 23 Fury on my new 225 Pro XS 4-stroke. The Fury was closest to the RPMs I needed (6K) and had the better hole shot and mid-range. Sent the Fury to Mark Croxton and he B&B'd it. Runs even better now. The 23 Tempest had a tad more top end but the hole shot wasn't as good. Makes a great backup prop though.
