    Exclamation Nitro Z19 Prop to pad help

    Anyone have recommendations on prop to pad measurements for a 2021 Z19 with a 200hp ProXS 4 stroke? I’m getting 66mph out of the boat with a unmanageable chine walk after 63mph and it’s only turning 5700 rpms. It has a 23p Fury. The boat has two Minn Kota 8’ Raptors.

    I have mine at 3.25 prop to pad. Runs smooth up to 68 with a light load. No anchors.

    I don't know my measurements off-hand but my setup is stock and I've never had it walk at 63. Usually, mine starts walking around 66 or 67 depending on load. I don't have anchors, only 2 TM batteries (24v), and I generally don't carry a bunch of junk in the boat that weighs it down.

    I will also say that I've never seen 6200 RPM. 5800 or maybe 5900 is as high as mine goes. I realize I'm leaving some RPMs on the table but I don't like to run that fast anyway and I'm happy with the performance as it is.

    Mine (same boat minus anchors) is currently set at approx 3.7" PtP. Chine walk becomes an issue at around 65mph. Seems more manageable when both live wells are full. I have yet to run with a passenger other than the wife, therefore I have no idea what top speed or chine walk is like with a passenger. Highest speed Ive seen so far is 66mph at about 5800 rpm if memory serves. Going to try it at 3.25" and see if I can duplicate Mr Dilling's Performance. When mine starts to walking, it always seems to fall off pad to the right, and a quick yank on the steering wheel to the left straightens it right out for a moment or two...
