    2017 201

    Just took off my 25p fury and put a 26p fury on my 201 with a 250 proxs and it jumped out the hole and ran mid to upper 70s but my rpm was only about 5400, when I had the 25p on there my rpm was about 5900 at close to the same speeds, my question is am I running to low of rpm with the 26 or should I leave it alone?

    Go back to the 24p lugging the motor at 5400, to much prop now in the heat , it will be good this fall in cooler weather ? The 26p prop.

    O by the way I think your max RPMs are 5750 on that motor so you will have to have the prop worked are , are lite up on the foot .

    Yeah the 26 really got out the hole better then the 25 but the rpm was about 300 lower on top end, rev limiter on that motor is 6200

    The 26 will be perfect in colder weather.

    5950 is the optimum RPM Range
