    21XRD w/250 Pro XS?

    I'm going pick up my boat Friday of next week and was wondering what prop to have them put on it? He has a 29P TXP on it now. Is this going to be good for a fishing TX load setup?

    what Mike said...........I wouldnt recommend the TXP.........holeshot isnt what I prefer for fishing..........29 TXP will also be a bit much in warm weather loaded

    28 Hydro will be good as well if they give you that option

    28-29 Bravo FS.

    I'd say, for you, just go with the 28. Since you're not trying to get any top end numbers out of it.

    I found that the wingmaster likes a prop with a full bell.I ran one for about 7 months last year when they first came out and ran several props with the Bravo1FS was the better all around prop that I ran.The gen2 lower unit promotes stern lift,and a prop with a full bell does also,but it should be a good match for the 21XRD.Congratulations on the new Bullet,let us now how you like it.Big change from Ranger to a Bullet.

    Got the same set up, 27 txp. Stay away from props with flare on the back of the barrel!!! I might can see where my 27 txp may not be enough, I've turned it to 5850 at 81.8 but it still has 50 min left in breakin.

    You may benefit from a second set of PVS holes drilled into the FS.

    28 Bravo FS, make sure you get some solid PVS Plugs, you will need them with the Wingmaster.

    The Bravo xs with the large holes WILL NOT plain out with 2 aboard I embarrassed myself at a frog tournament at Guntersville this past fall....Old style bravo with the barrel cut worked pretty good..The bravo FS seems to be the go to prop as of now for MOST, don't think there is a magic prop yet but someone will figure out this combo before long
