Would you guys suggest for a 200 elite 225 pro xs? I am currently twisting a 25" tempest @ 67.1 mph gps @ 3 7/8" below the pad @ 6000 rpm. Thinkin I may need a 26" wheel to get the extra ponies to the ground. or do I just need to lower the jp a touch, I gotta pretty good roost. Thanks for all the help.
Hard to say. 3 7/8 is lower than some. Try to trim down a hair and see what happens. The tail should not be over the cowling. And make sure you do not have front lockers too loaded. These hulls are weight sensitive...
I do run a 26 Tempest Plus on my regular 225 Opti/ 198 (same basic hull as the 200), but had to try 3 before I got a good one...Do you have anyone who will let you try props before you buy?
Noty to my knowlege. One of our local dealers I have asked and they said that they wouldn't. I would like to see at least 70 out of this rig and I pack pretty light.
Too bad...sometimes a local dealer here will bring several props to a lake for us so we can run them all and decide.
This may sound odd, but this is what I found on my rig. Since I have a Hydraulic plate, it makes it easier, but I found raising the jackplate and reducing trim gives me best performance. A few years back, I got 71.9. Last year, just barely touched 70. Same load, so not sure why the difference. I do want to try a Fury 25.

There are a few very long threads on this EXACT TOPIC here. I personally have the exact same boat. If you get 70, please let me know!

I have a lot left in the boat, It gets up on the pad good I just think I need a little more grip to get it there.
What props have you tried on your setup I'm thinkin a 26 tempest or fury

I went to my prop shop the other day and asked them if they had any fury's I could try out . She said "no. I had 5 and it took me a year to get rid of them . If you want to try one you will have to buy one". She said people weren't seeing a differance between the fury and the tempest. I think I will try out a 26 tempest and see what that might do. As long as its a steel prop I can try whatever I want before I buy it. She also said the Fury was 700.00. That's pretty rich!!!
