    Looking for setup advice for my 2001 bumble bee 290 super vee with a 2019 mercury 200 proxs four stroke. Running 26p Tempest plus. 69mph at 5300 rpm is the best I can do so far.

    You have to drop down in pitch to a 24" or maybe even a 23" prop to get your rpm's up closer to 6000 loaded ready to fish and may have to raise your motor up a little. That 26" prop is too much pitch for a new 4 stroke motor.

    see if you can try a 24 fury start at 3" below pad and work your way up. The bees seem to really like the fury
