Why are your RPM'S so low? They should be alot higher with the proper set-up.

Not sure just yet? Ill be on it the next three days in a row so Ill be able to gauge the set up some more. Alot of guys up here in MI with the new motor are all turning 23 Fury's on their Triton and Nitros. We have had some outrageous humidity lately as well. Thats a RPM killer. Never had a Triton yet that I didnt have dialed in, Ill get this one, just takes some tweaking....

First off this is the first time i have had the boat on the water. 25 pitch fury is what came with the boat. This is about as fast as I would ever want to run so I do not care about pitching down. Also when it cools down I will gain another couple hundred rpms.

Thanks for your input though......

Yeah, 75 seems good to me too. ;) But, would you be concerned about bogging it down a bit. My understanding, which could be wrong, is that not propping outboards so they can reach peak RPM is not in their best interest. If bringing up the RPMs means more top speed you can always back it down a bit and save a little gas.

Any chance you'll be at Harris this weekend? Would love to take a look and maybe catch a ride if it would not be an inconvenience. This combo might be my next boat.

You need to be over 6000 LOADED RPM'S and your not going to get there with cooler temperatures.....Your lugging a brand new motor, which is something you should care about.

No dont think I will make it, but I will let you know if I do. Went yesterday and caught 25+ fish in a few hours.

Cool. I almost went out Wednesday but I gotta clean the garage so I can get the boat out first. LOL
