Prop Help on 2018 Lynx

[brinson]

I need some of the experts to guide me on what prop would be best for my 2018 Lynx with a Verado 250 Pro.

24 Fury 3 blade(prop the boat came with)
85 degrees
6400 rpms @ 74 mph
holeshot is 3 secs.
water pressure 21 psi
1/2 tank of gas
livewell full
one person
Jack plate buried ( I have not tested with raising the jackplate yet)
Chine walk is pretty bad not much fun for me to drive.

26 Fury 4 blade
85 degrees
6150 rpms @ 73mph
holeshot is 4 secs.
water pressure is 20 psi. (when I tried to run it with the jackplate higher, the water pressure would drop to the mid teens.)
1/2 tank of gas
livewell full
one person
Jack plate at 5 or 2,25 on the scale on the plate. ( with the jackplate buried, it does not want to come up on plane)
The boat drives way better with the 4 blade. Turns better much easier to drive wide open.

I plan on retesting with the 3 blade and raising the jackplate. I do not know the prop to pad yet as the boat is in the water. I will measure when I pull it out later this week.

I personally wouldn't do anything! Those are good numbers from what I have read or heard

We would get a known to be seasoned BCB driver in the seat and see what it runs like.

Bury the JP on hole shot than raise it after on plane. With 3 blade prop. You mat see slightly faster speeds. Also chine walk will come in at a higher speed than with the JP buried.
The 4 blade may take some JP and trim work too to get the best performance. May do better with a 25p Fury 4.

Brinson, sent you a pm about pvs plugs, are you running any?

[brinson]

No PVS plugs. I have figured out how to run the 4 blade by raising the jackplate high at first and let the boat break over and drop it to run height once on plane. It comes up very quickly with 2 people and 1/2 tank of gas by doing this.

What prop to pad does BassCat recommend on the Lynx?

[Bass Cat Boats]

Acne the RPM range is higher on the Verado we would be between the 23 and 24 Fury.
