Hey guys.
Looking to get a recommendation for prop and prop to pad measurements to go with for my new to me 05 Stratos 201 Pro XL. The boat has a 2012 Evinrude Etec 250 HO. Boat also has twin 8' talons and 4 batteries.
My primary concern is hole-shot over top end speed. Here in MN the majority of the lakes don't allow to get up to 70+ from spot to spot so holeshot is what I want. The majority of the time I am fishing with a partner in tournaments so 2 guys + gear and full live wells
I currently have a Fury 27p 3 blade and a 3.5" prop to pad. When I am by myself, 1/2 tank of gas, and live wells empty I have about a 6-7 second hole shot with a 67mph top speed. Last weekend with a full load, 2 guys, and gas the hole shot was 10+ seconds.
Would love to hear from other Stratos guys with similar setups on what they are running with stats.
Thanks in advance guys. I appreciate it!
