Okay Guys. Here goes...
I purchased a 2010 PII about six weeks ago. When I tested the boat out on Table Rock Lake the boat hit 70mph. I did not see what RPM's the boat was running at. But, I live in Wyoming and at high elevation. I knew I would need a different prop. The boat came with a Fury 4 25P. I ran it at 4500 feet of elevation with the Fury 4 25P and hit 5150 RPMs. Doing some reading on here and taking some recommendations from a fellow BassCat owner in the west I settled on a Bravo 1 XS 24P. I ran it this weekend at 4500 feet of elevation and was hitting 5400-5450. The motor is mounted on a Slidemaster JP. With the Fury 4 it was set at 1/4 inch above flush. After seeing the performance with the Bravo at 5450, I raised the JP another 1/4 of an inch and had identical performance. The wind picked up and I was unable to make any more JP adjustments. My plan right now is to switch props to a 22P Bravo 1 XS. I know BassCat doesn't recommend raising the motor very high. One more thing, the lake I fish the most sits at 6500 feet of elevation. Which means I will likely lose even more RPMs.
What are everyones thoughts on my issue? Im looking to max out RMPs at 5750. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
