198 with a 225 Yamaha HPDI Prop Help

[cpower23]

Anyone running a 198 with a HPDI on it? I'm needing some help on what is the best prop for this setup. It's a 2004 and when I bought it it had a 25M prop. Early this spring on LOZ I slung a blade on it. Didn't hit anything blade just came off while running across the lake. I had read that a lot of people swing the Tempest Plus so I bought one and tried it out. It didn't perform near as well as the 25M, I can only get about 63 mph with my partner and half tank of fuel. I actually had a spare 25M so I sent it off to Croxton to have it B&B. I got it back and it ran great just like the first one I had. It would run 68-70 WOT with just me. That is fully loaded with 4 batteries. My mind that is pretty good. Hole shot was good also. Well fast forward to yesterday and in a tournament, once again I slung another blade on the 25M. Again, I didn't hit anything. Just running across the lake. So I think I'm done with the 25M. Can anyone who runs the HPDI on a 198 tell me what prop they run and the numbers they get? I would like to be in the 5800-6000 rpm range and still get back to around 70 mph. I could turn the 25M 5600-5800. Thanks in advance for any help.

When I had my 198/HPDI, a worked 25T-1 was the best all around prop.

25 Tempest Plus worked "correctly" for a champion is what you need.. I would send it to two people not listed on here to be worked.. not the one you listed either.. PM for details if you want the info..
