[FJSPROFISH]

New Legend owner.

2006 LE-21 w/Mercury 225 Pro XS & 24 pitch Fury.
Tournement load, 3/4 in main tank and 10 gallons in aux tank
Only me in boat
Time: 6:30 am
Air Temp: 63
Water Temp: 67
Elevation: 2140
WOT: 71mph
RPM's: 5800
Motor Set at 4" below pad


Same set-up with partner and full tourney load, same lake:
68.7 mph
5800 rpms



Trying different motor height settings and weight distribution.

Have new Merc 25 pitch Fury to try yet.

I think this boat can run near 75mph.

Ideas?


Thanks,

Fred

[Cajun Bro]

That is some good numbers!

[FJSPROFISH]

Thanks, I think I can get a few more MPH's out of her with a little tweeking.

Nice Numbers Potan. I cant wait to run at closer to sea level to see where my numbers go! After some tweeking and prop swaps I think I've got my rig pretty well dialed in. It just loves the Fury 24P prop. She is the fastest hole shot I have ever seen and WOT speaks for itself!

Have BWB magazine numbers ever been reproduced? (Loaded with 2 guys, LE 21 225 Pro XS 78 gps)

Just to lend some credibility to the subject. These numbers really should have never been printed. A friend of mine was the driver and the numbers were from a dead run at the far bluff bank with a radar gun in pretty rough water. He wanted to re-run in a protective cove and the writer said, "This is what I got, this is what I'm going to print." So it was never backed up by a subsequent run. The boat was stock with a fixed jack plate and a stock prop. Not to say the rig couldn't be tweaked and actually reached those numbers, but you would be hard pressed to repeat them without some fine tuning. Just saying.

Curious about my setup and any help appreciated. Haven't measured below pad yet but can update later. Here is what I do know:

12 Alpha199 w/ProXS 225hp
26 Fury
10" plate
100% full gas
tournament load w/200# partner
livewell empty
Water Pressure 26
Trim slightly lower than highest RPM attainable of 5800 runs much faster
RPM 5600
Air Temp 30
Water Temp 45
GPS 68.8-69.5

runs a bit faster with a foot or two of chop
no walk
have seen high as 72.3 on certain days but can't really figure out what was different then

13 alpha 211R merc 250 pro xs(gen2) atlas hydro jack plate
25 fury
3 1/4 in. below pad
66 mph @ 5540 rpms ( gps )
just me and 3/4 tank of fuel light tournament load, no water in live well. 1 person
air temp 71 water 75

26 bravo 1
2 in. below pad
66 mph @ 5700 rpms ( gps )
2 1/2 in below pad
67 mph @ 5600 rpms (gps )

merc rep seems to think thats all i should expect.the 2 in below pad is where he said i should run it..(throws a rooster tail and steering is stiff) trailer doesnt load very well with the bravo.ive tried every height and several different props 65 to 67 unless running down the river is all i get..

2013 Alpha 211 DC w/ 250 Pro XS (4 hours on Motor, so only opened her up for a minute max each time) - 25 Fury worked by Baggy's Propeller Shop - 74 Ibs of Gear (tackle / rods and reels) - 10 Ibs of tools - 40 Gallons fuel - 2 Men (400 Ibs) - Livewells half full - Air Temp 90 F / Water Temp 86 F - 5760 RPM's = 71 mph - Same load minus partner (-200 Ibs) = 73 mph (Motor was as far down as I could go with my Atlas 10")

2012 211 250proxs
10" atlas
25 stock fury pushing 5900rpm 3.5-4" below pad
70* a bit of chop
water temp was low 70s
light load with me and buddy #400
livewells full
74 mph on a short run possible could have gotten more
just me in the same setup 76 then she started to walk bad and had to cut her down

i really wish I still had a bobs jackplate over the atlas.

my 26 fury best with only me under similar conditions was struggling to get 73 but did handle a bit better.

Next to try is a 25 high five for the Great Lakes. If anyone has or knows of one for sale let me know

2006 LE 21 DCX with 225 ProXS
73.9 Tournament Load w/one woman
27" Tempest
5500 rpm
3.75" below the pad
10" Hydro Dynamics Jack Plate

I know she will float a little faster than this... what am I doing wrong?

I know this is an old thread, but have you swapped out that tempest prop yet? I swapped mine out a few yrs back for a Fury and this boat will scoot.

[Legend_Master]

Nothing like a Fury prop....I love them hole shots and top end speeds....Now if I can only get my thru hull puck situated i will be golden and can get back to business...

New Legend owner,

2013 A211 DC with 250 pro xs
Bob's 10" hydraulic jack plate
25 fury stock
2-8' power polls
73 @ 6000, going to play with prop.

[Cajun Bro]

That is pretty much where you should be. You could get a little better with some tweaking. I have basically the same set up and have seen 75 running lite and just the other day ran a 28" Bravo I and ran 73 with a full tx load (two guys).

[kcarlson]

New Alpha 211 owner, 2014, Yamaha SHO 4 stroke. Still breaking in the engine. Any one running a Yamaha? Looking for prop pointers

[jasonG]

Cajun what was your rpms running the 28p bravo?

[Cajun Bro]

JasonG, 5600

[Treker47]

Have an '03 186 with a '01 200 merc. Running a 25 Tempest now at 5800 rpm and getting 68 mph with full load. Got a chance to get a 24 fury at a good price. What can I expect with this prop?
