    A fury 4 will give you that kind of lift. I can run 74 w/25 tempest all the time. I have also been a best of 77.8 w/ 26 fury light load but not a good all around prop. There is more to it than just putting on x pitch prop and calling it a day.

    That's true it takes time and trying different setups to get the best out of a heavy fishing boat. I would love to run across a 26p fury 4 to give it a shot but I'm afraid it will be on the rev limiter. Just won't know till I can get my hands on one.

    thats the only way i could get that boat to run like a scalded dog. The standard 225 OptiMaxx that was on it ran tiptop And the best I could get that boat to do was 67. With the 250 proxs That thing absolutely flies and I can get her up in a foot and a half a water And the fuel is so much better than a 225 OPTi

    Ranger/ Bob's rapid jack 10 inch. I can turn more than a 25 since I'm running around 6000 top end.
    26p Tempest or Fury, get extra vent holes drilled in. Will allow you to spool up and get on pad, and then will be right for the RPM's on the top end.
