just bought my first bass boat and wondering where the top end should be? right now I have a 225 mercury pro xl and am running at approx 66mph gps, with 1/2 tank of gas and tournament load. running a 26p 4 blade prop at 5800rpm 20psi h20. also on a 6in manual jackplate at 2.5 in below pad.
My 2007 200XL/225 ProXS ran best with a B&B 26 Tempest and a stock 26 Fury at 3 1/4" below the pad. With a 26 Trophy it ran best @ 2 3/4" below the pad. I saw 80 on a cold winter day with perfect conditions with the 26 Tempest. It was 78+ everyday with a full load me by myself in the winter, summer it was 76-77. With the 26 Trophy it ran 76-77 winter and 75 summer.
Take Danny's info as gospel......he does a lot to make sure his boats are maxed out and efficient.
I forgot to add that you need trim extenders.
Thanks for the compliment Todd.
