There is a similar thread being discussed on the Ranger board right now ..... and a 25" Tempest is what everybody runs (and what I used to run on mine). Set the prop shaft height at 3.25" below the pad. 3x Large PVS plugs. Mine typically ran 68-70 w/2 right on 5700rpm. I also had a 8" Slidemaster. Mine was a '01 518vx (same boat as yours).

Good Luck.
