2007 Ranger Reata 210 - Mercury Optimax 225 (#1B446134) - 12' TalonsCarbon12’s @ Bow w/ AT- live 12 w/ 3D & live 7 @ Helm
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...

3/4 of the Earth's surface is water and 1/4 is land. Clearly god wants me to fish, not mow the lawn.

Yes thats stock. rpms 5600. I Have plenty witness's
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.

Gps is fine. I'am still healing from neck surgery. First chance I get to get back on the water, I'll take a video and post up for you.
Sounds good. Look forward to seeing it. Have a speedy recovery.
