    Will my 200 ProXS turn a 25 Tempest Plus. Have a 24 T+ and it hits 71+ with a head snapping holeshot but was debating on a 25 for bigger lakes.

    I run a 24 Temest +. 70.5 top end. I tried a 25 Tempest +, but it was straight out of the box and my boat didn’t like it. I’m sure it needs B&B’d, which should help. I have added dual poles since I tried it and not sure what would do with the added weight

    I’m turning a 25p on mine. I got more lift and better holeshot. Tops out at 69-70.

    I don't understand your reasoning. Prop the motor for the best performance.
    On my R boat I run a worked 25 T+ on a 200 Opti (not a Pro XS).
