Speed Prop

[mbrien]

What would you guys recommend for a speed prop (and pitch) for an 09' 20XRD with an 09' 250XS 1.62 gears, sportmaster. Also what speeds do you all think is possibe with this setup?

Thanks,

well, if you strip it light.....I think trip digits is achievable

28 or 29 hydromotive q4x-ob .. 90 plus with light load solo...

Buddy of mine's 20XD with a 250XS ran 93+ with me and him in it loaded to fish, with a 29 Hydromotive.

Does your buddy have 1.62 gears with a sportmaster? Just wondering if I can turn a 29 pitch.

Thanks

I think you should be able to turn a 29

I have been in the same rig that racerkvn is referring to and saw low 90's as well.

I really believe 100 is doable with a light load with something such as a big performer

here is a test Paul nichols done with a 20XD/250XS

With 1:62 Sporty you would probably like the 28 hydro a bit better for general fishing but the 29 will keep you off the limiter when running light... keep us posted..

The hard part of running a big prop with the 1.62's is the the holeshot.. The 250xs has a little mor bottom end then my 300X but with most big pitches I need lots of vent holes open..

Thanks for all the input.. I'll let you all know what I come up with.

Mine has seen 94 with a 30 bc performer, one man lite fishin load. 20 psi water. I think it had more in it.

How many RPM's were you able to turn up with the 30 B/C performer? Also what was your prop shaft to pad height?
Thanks

Hey Joe I sent you an IM

I think it was 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 above. just glanced at the tach 62-6400. This was in 100 deg temp 3/4 fuel fishing stuff for one, driver and balast. nothing in live wells. 96 should be easy 98 might be doable in cooler air if im not on the limiter.

edit: this was a borrowed prop, I dont know if it was modified other than the bullet cut.
