1999 R91 Sport set up.

[StratDude]

Bought my boat back in March from the original owner. 200 EFI. He was just a fisherman, no need for jackplates, faster props, or anything else. I'm currently running the Trophy Plus 22p 4 blade that was on it when I bought it. Turning 6,000 rpm's at 63-64mph with just me in it. Usually 60mph with two guys and our tourney load. My motor is mounted in the second hole from the bottom, so it's a little above the normal position.
I just purchased a 24p Fury 3 blade from a bbc member and I'm wondering what to expect with this prop on my boat. I'm leaning towards adding a 6" jackplate over the winter.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Add the plate! I had that exact boat and the plate helped a lot. Gained about 3mph top end if I remember right but made the boat handle much better. I was running a 24 Tempest Plus if I remember right.

You are running to many RPMs for that engine, 5800 max . I'm running a 25 pitch on mine.

[StratDude]

Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to trying the Fury. Might be adding the jackplate soon.

I have an older 5 1/2" CMC PL-65. Need to see if I can replace the seal in the bottom of the ram cylinder before putting it on.

I also ran a 25 on my 2001 R91.

[StratDude]

In the process of rebuilding an older CMC PL-65 now. Pump and motor work. Replacing the O rings in the ram cylinder.

[StratDude]

Should have the 24 Fury Monday. Should this be ok even without having the jackplate on yet?

6" plate, 25" Tempest +, C/L prop to pad 3.25".
Haven't seen any R boats with a Fury, probably since a Fury needs to run deeper.

[StratDude]

Thanks Tom. I’d like to try a Tempest if I can find a local that has one.

run a Fury 4 on my R boat has been superior to a croxton worked tempest plus, bout to send it of to him for tip cup and B and B

I am currently running a 25 pitch Tempest Plus . I had a 25 pitch Trophy plus.

R boats need bow lift to get speed and give the boat a "sporty" feeling. I think that a fury tends to lift the stern.

[StratDude]

The hub kit for the Fury should be here today. Hopefully get to try it tomorrow. It’ll be a while before I add the jackplate. Have to change the upper plate on this one to the new style in order to mount the 7050 actuator.

[StratDude]

Thanks for all the replies everyone. Got it on this evening. Hope to run it tomorrow if the weather holds out. Doesn’t have any PVS plugs in it. But I have a few packs left over from my last boat.

A little advice on the EFI. If you don't know the history on the motor I would extremely recommend that you get the injectors professionally cleaned and flow tested. #1 cause of engine failure in the EFI motor is dirty injectors.

[BosnianBassMaster]

I’m running a 1998 r91 with a 200efi. I have gotten my injectors cleaned and calibrated by European Marine over 1year ago. Also I have removed my oil injection and am mixing my own oil. I have installed a hydraulic jack plate and am running a 25tempest that has been blueprinted I get about 62-64 on average. I have gotten it up to 67 but the boat did not have any weight in it and it was down current ��.

I agree with this 100%. I used Brucato a BBC member and sponsor
