Made a few passes before it got too windy in my 2016 21RDC with a 300XS, got to 88.7 with a Signature 30p, still need to go higher with the mota, running 20+lbs of water pressure has to be a way to get in the low 90's

You'll bust 90. It's been horrible windy here. I couldn't have made a fast run today if I wanted to.

Ditch the signature but that's my opinion.
The wind was howling in Batesville, AR today

Ted, I need to measure it, Tim, the Signature is a great prop, may not be the fastest, but a good all around prop, it's the only 30p prop I have. If I wasn't running 4 batteries and a fishing load, I bet I'd run a little more speed
There is no doubt you should be able to run low 90's with that setup
Any prop suggestions?? I have a 28p Promax, but I turn it close to the limiter already
What lower? 1.75 or 1.62 sporty?

I know there is a 21xdc with poles running 90-91 with a 1.62 300 with a 28p BC performer 4. I am wanting to find a 30 and a 32 to test.
I hope I can find the 32 before you!
My dad had a 21xdc/300xs w/ 1.62 SM that we had fishing at 92 with 2, no poles, and extremely heavy load. We settled on a 28 round ear Performer 4. Holeshot wasn't the best but it would roll when you got it going. Oh and it also had 16" setback

The Promax I have runs good, but I think if I had a 29 or 30, 90+ would be no problem
Todd if you can turn a 28 Promax close to the limiter with 1.62 gears you have your set-up really close and you have a very strong motor,I would still like to know your prop to pad.I fish with a 30 promax in my 21SS/300XS/DBR1.3/1.75 and a Nass cowl,I also have a 32 Promax that will break 100mph,I haven't ran it to 100 yet but I was on a good pass last spring(99.3)and had a bolt fly up out of the recessed pedal tray and bounce off of my hard head and had to get out of it,before the weather and water start to get warm Im going to try and get a video run with that prop running over 100mph.I ran 102 in December with a 32 Performer,but it was not mine and I had to send it back home,I was supposed to send it to Tim but things didnt work out,but I am pretty sure with a phone call it can be on its way to Tim,I dont know what its going to run on his boat,but I bet A LOT of people are going to be surprised at what it will run.Tim you need to get your lower unit broke in and get used to that new plate and then show them that your boat is not the typical Basssport.
