    Prop question for Puma

    Does anyone have any advice on props to use on a '16 Puma FTD with a 250 ProXS? I'm currently running a 25 fury. Hole shot is very sub par. A good bit slower out the whole than my Phoenix was. Top speed this evening with 2 people wells full and a light tackle load was 74-75 @ around 5750. I do have 8' blades and Atlas hydraulic. Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance.

    Raising the Plate will help hole shot and an extra set of vent holes in the propeller should resolve it also.

    25 fury, (worked)26 fury, 25 fury4..seem to be the props most run. I have the 25 fury, not sure how mine is vented. I’ll look. But mine is just so so out of the hole. Im going to try a 25fury4 someday.
    I still can’t drive, 72-74 is my norm. But It wants to go faster, some day I’ll get all the trim in it. Some day.
    more nose weight (ultrex) has helped me.

    Extra vent holes, Steves Prop Shop or Croxtons will get you going! If you try the Fury 4, it will jump out of the hole, you'll lose a couple mph though on top
