Has anyone tried a bigger wheel on a 2109 520c with Merc 4 stroke 250XS? Maybe a 25 or 26 Fury 3 blade? Is Merc only getting the hole shot and mid range due to the 23p fury that comes stock on the boat?

I'm breaking mine in still. I went from a Optimax 250 ProXS to a 2024 250 ProXS. I took the 25 Fury 3 from the old motor and am now using it on the new one. I have 3 hours on her right now so I've had some limited runs of a couple of minutes at WOT. I'm encountering a pretty aggressive chine walk at 62GPS turning about 5K. Didn't really want to push her any higher.
To answer your question about holeshot...I had pretty good holeshot. She jumped up on plane pretty quickly, and considering all that I've read, better than I expected.
