    Prop question

    Hey guys I’m new here just looking for some input on a prop.
    I have a 2019 Phoenix 721 with 10” manual jack I think im not looking at it right this second with a 250 pro xs 4 23 fury which was recommended
    by mercury and blade 8’ poles solix 15 and solix 12 with ultrex 112.The prop shaft is 3.5 inches and hasn’t but will hit the rev limit with tackle 2 guys and live wells are not full. Just seeing if anyone else has this set up and what prop are you running? I haven’t fulling hit the 10hr mark so I haven’t held in it for a long period but the boat is hitting 73.5mph and turning 6150rpm seems to hold that but water conditions haven’t been just right. I’ve heard of so many
    Different prop pitches and 3-4 blades not sure what’s the best option. I will be loaded and probably end up with 2 props to switch from winter to summer any info would be appreciated.

    Don't do anything until you get it out of break in and load it like you're going to fish. Wild guess until then.

    Will do.👍🏼 Just asking to see what other guys are running. I’ve had people say they are turn 23 to 27 which the 27 is very hard for me to believe on a loaded rig.

    Don't listen to internet noise. Your boat will tell you exactly what it's going to want. Just need to listen.
