    Prop ?

    Hey guys,

    Just purchased a new 225 Pro XS and was wondering if I should go with a 23 Fury or a 23 Tempest?

    Thank you

    Seems to me that more Fury (s) are being used.

    From the testing a bunch of my buddy’s have done a fury will be faster unloaded and a tempest will be faster loaded (2 people)

    I would concur that the 22P Fury 3 should be real close for this setup (and still let you spool up into the upper RPM range).
