So I recently bought a Fury 4 to try on my boat. I have been running a tempest plus (3 blade, if you're unfamiliar) at 2.75" below pad. On a tournament load with just me, I see about 73-74 mph on average but it is a dog out of the hole if I fill a livewell or have another person in the boat. Not to mention losing anywhere from 4-8 mph. Because of that, I decided to give a 4 blade a try. My question is, what is a good starting point on a prop to pad measurement for the 4 blade? My current stats are below:
Currently have a 26P Tempest plus at 2.75 below pad.
6" manual jackplate with 2" spacers
2007 Tr21X w/ 250 Pro XS (silver gear case)
Going to a 25P Fury 4 that has a tiny bit of cup added to it.
If there is more info needed to be helpful, let me know.
