    Anybody tried a tempest plus 24p on new merc v8 250 Pro XS?

    Hey guys, my new 250 Pro XS v8 was finally delivered tomdealer.
    Trying to decide on prop. I have a 2007 ranger 521, and have been running a 25p tempest plus with great results. I really don’t want to run a fury prop, had them and didn’t run great on my boat. Just curious if anyone has tried or heard of someone running a 24p tempest plus on a bass boat?

    thanks

    chris

    I have my true 25P Tempest+ from my previous 250 Opti I have not run yet on my 2009 Ranger Z21 Intracoastal. With the V8 on it now and running in 90 degree heat, sea level, 90% humidity, 2 full fuel tanks (48 gallons), my limited tackle, and just me I ran 70 mph @ 5950 rpms with a 3 blade out of the box 23 Fury. 72 mph @ 5920 rpms with a 3 blade out of the box 24 Fury. This was recorded on my short bursts at WOT during break-in. 9.7 hours on it now. A bit more and I'll start swapping props. It was 45 degrees here this morning and 65% humidity so it will be much different conditions. I need to get a wheel that will turn 6150. Then were good.

    My motor should be done being rigged next week, got a new 24p tempest plus in. If I’m not happy with it might get it taken down 1/2 pitch.
