    Summer Numbers 2017 721

    Just figured I'd throw this out there and see if you guys think there's room for improvement.
    Food for thought:
    Just had the motor serviced, 29hrs so it's not at full power yet
    I live in TX so ambient sucks
    Full tourney loadout, gas, livewells etc.

    Murder Phoenix (black/black/gunmetal/silver)
    2017 721
    Merc 250xs
    26p Fury with all holes open, just swapped from 25p Fury
    standard Lead Acid Batts x4
    Manual Jack Plate
    and lastly, 2 8' power poles
    Ambient 94F @ 36% humidity
    Water 82.1F
    77.4MPH @5550 RPM

    motor has plenty left in it but had to back out due to "White boats"
    Haven't bought a HYD jackplate yet, but it's my next purchase. I haven't bothered checking ptp because it seems great as is, but just want your guys opinion

    haha, yeah the guys at the dealership said I had a rocket when I told them I could over-turn the 25p Fury I had, so they threw on a 26p for me at the 20hr service and told me to have fun. So far the boat is great, Best decision I ever made

    Sounds like good numbers for sure but I would measure my set up so I would know where I was....

    Definitely get your p2p so you can know where you are at and it can help others trying to get theirs set up. Good numbers though for sure.

    That seems awful fast for only 5550. Guessing you'd be at 80 if you could turn 6,000

    I thought since the fury's turn a pitch stiff you usually enter a pitch higher in the calculator. 26=27 in the calculator.

    Sorry been busy lately that's a true 5550. Raising the motor a 1/4" and gonna take her out in a few days. I'll update the next time I'm out. And if I didn't have to drive it I'd post a video. I'm too cheap for a GoPro lol.
