    21P Tempest Plus that was B&Bed and had about an inch of pitch removed...so technically it's a 20P... I was thinking about running something else but that was before the guys on here beat it in my head that just about all the Tempest props need a little TLC to really shine and I'm glad I listened and had it tweaked! Only other prop I see buying is a spare...

    Tempest plus. Our heavy F&S boats need a little extra help with bow lift. The tempest seems to fit the bill here. I also would like to try a Mazco 4 blade.
    Beater boats catch fish too... It's what I have to tell myself right now...

    If you could get ahold of a 21P Tempest you would see a significant improvement over the Lazer II.
    3/4 of the Earth's surface is water and 1/4 is land. Clearly god wants me to fish, not mow the lawn.

    Is that a stock 150 EFI? Because you would have to be turning it 6200RPMs with less than 10% slip to get those numbers with any 21P prop.

    You would have to be running at 0.62% slip (impossible) to get those numbers. Unless you are running in 6MPH current down stream you're GPS is off.

    You can run the numbers here to double check me.

    Not trying to call you out, but I spent a lot of time and money on a similar setup and couldn't get close to those numbers.
