    23 fury on 618?

    I'm curious if anyone has tried a 23 fury yet on a 618 with 175 pro xs? To me it seems like it would be a good fit, I've tried a 23 and 24 tempest and 24 fury and all have their place but it seems like a 23 fury would be a good performer overall.

    I’m running a 26 fury and still can hit the rev limiter. I might have to go to a 27! But I am running the 175 G2 BEAST!

    Surly the g2 hasn't a different gear ratio than the merc. 27p on a 175 seems impossible.

    With 24 fury it ran 64-65 with just me and full load of gear and 3/4 tank of fuel, 5600 rpms, i just can't get the rpms where they need to be with the load I usually carry, it was the best out of the hole compared to both tempests.

    A 23 sounds like it would be the prop for you.
