25P Tempest + on my Coral 202 - Merc 225. On a cool day with just me it is an honest 70mph gps F & S!
Awesome, I hope to break 70 with some mods to my 2.5L EFI. Do you know what RPM you are spinning at 70?Originally Posted by ChooChooSnakeMan
Beater boats catch fish too... It's what I have to tell myself right now...
7000 with a worked 24 bravo is 75 on my rig
Ha, Ha. I know better than to compare my boat setup to an Ally. Even the "slow" one!

Thats the prop I slalom with.....and I am 210 and can deep water start both feet in boots, I quit smoking though and starting to do some cardio, I hope to be under 200 by summer and ski more
That is some kick A** speed for a F&S. I have a Procraft 215 F&S with a Merc 225 EFI. I too am running a 25P Tempest Plus but not touching that speed, but then again the PC is a heavier boat. Are you running a JP and if so how high are you setting it. Has the prop been worked? Any help you can give would be great. Thanks
Im about 3/8" above the pad with a LWP nosecone

What do you guys suggest for props (ski) and (fishing) props for my Coral 202 w/ Etec 225?
2006 Skeeter ZX225
On my 201 Stratos FS, hyd Jackplate , 07 225 etec . I pull 70 gps loaded with gear and just me in the boat with a DAH 26 raker. I run a DAH 25 gade for skiing and all around running. That one runs upper 60's all day.
07' Champion 21Sx, 300 Vmax……. Best overall performance I have found so far is a modified Bravo1 26P. Mark Croxton added rake, cup, and PVS holes. Great holeshot with a load, good bow lift, and just overall solid performance. I can take the family out pulling a large 3-man tube or go fishing with a buddy. One prop does it all for me. Of course I always want to go faster. :-).
On my 04 Champ 21sx with 250 SHO running 25P Tempest Plus worked by Robbie Patterson best speed 70.7 on GPS at 5700 - 5800 rpms. Most days run 68 around 5550 - 5600 rpms. That is two people, tourney loaded. Prop is 3.75 inches below pad. Going to play this weekend and bring up another 1/4 of an inch and see how it does.
Wayne I am not doubting the speed since not likely the GPS is off. I would think about having the tach checked out though, you may be turning that motor at a lot higher RPMS then you are thinking. Dan is right the numbers just don't add up you would be at 1% or less slip which just does not happen. If you are running up around 6000 - 6200 rpms you would be closer to 10% slip which is realistic.

I am faster now.....changed setback and upgraded props
I have a Nitro Z-7 Sport with a 150 Optimax and 25P Tempest Plus. I have no problems getting on plane and GPS at 55 (when i'm not taking on water like in the other thread I started).
If I just want more speed just for the heck of it, would a jack plate help?
What are your current WOT RPMs? I've got to think they are on the low end given you have a 25p being slung by a 150 on a F&S hull...
But to answer your question yes a plate should help...and I would install a plate first then play with props.

I agree at 6000 rpms, with a 25 p prop I am north of 75. Granted my
Prop has extra cup and hydro motives are known to be stiffer than stamped. A guy should be able to run 55 with a 19 or 21 at 6000 rpms with 1.87 gears
RPMS at 5500-5600, don't recall ever hitting 6000 but it will run that 55 with one person or 3 people.
