BassCat pantera II guestion

[moody john]

I have a pII with a 200 mariner magnum i am running a 25 pitch tempest it will run 72 mph according to the gps i was wondering what would be the best prop to get more speed?

[Eyra1]

What year boat? What rpms and water pressure do you have now at that speed? Engine height? Seems like you're dialed in pretty good. I ran a 26 Trophy on my 97 PII/200 EFI. Have you tried a Fury?

I am turning 5800 rpms my water pressure is 18 and my boat is a 95 model. I have not tried any other props.

Is that loaded down or running light? If I remember, I ran 73+ occasionally. You may try a Fury if you have someone that can loan one. That's pretty stout though for a 17 y/o boat. I'm running a 24 Fury on this 96 Eyra.
The PII I ran I had a 25 Trophy and 25 Tempest as backup props.
Good Luck!

That is loaded with all my fishing stuff and a 1/2 tank of gas.

I have a '95 PII with 200 Mariner and I can't get anywhere near 70 mph so I think you're dialed in great. I've tried a 24 Fury, 25 Tempest, 25 Trophy Plus, 24 Trophy and my original 25 Trophy and the best I can get with any of them is about 64-65 at 5750 - 5800 rpms.

Your running good! I have the same boat only a 91 model with a 200XRI and if I remember correctly I was running 68 and change with the same load. My prop isn't state of the art and is dinged up some but I'm good with it.
