    Best Prop for VX21

    I'm currently running a Fury 3 Blade 23P and get 69-70mph at 6050 RPM in a Mercury Pro XS 300. I'm looking for advice on how to get more top end speed...Ideally 75+?

    likely not going to happen-- have you played with the ptp or checked it? fury is a fast prop and you only have 150 rpms to be at redline also. can move more weight towards the back? bow lifting good? too much weight on bow from graphs and such? might repost this in the prop section at the top area also -- you have a mercedes not a vette.

    Loaded up with tackle in the middle locker, I am getting 67mph with a 24p Fury 3 on my VXs21 with 250merc at about 5800 RPMs, so I am going down to 23P. Really have to trim out to like ~80% to maximize speed, and it will climb slowly once more hull is out of the water.

    a bravo1 based prop will get the entire hull up on the water, might try one also
