I run a 25 pitch on mine....everyone else seems to run 23 or 24's. I have no issues with a 25 tempest and have run 25 renegades as well as the 24 rakers. Fastest propeller is a 25 tempest with added stern lift by mark. He's building me a 25 razor to try this week with some added stern lift so we'll see how that goes. Your WOT RPM's will dictate your pitch...shoot for 5600. All props 23-25 renegades, 24 raker, 24 lightning, 24 tempest, 25 tempest all good for 63-66mph set up correctly with 6in of setback. Im a big guy too...

Do you have the intruder model or the standard evinrude?
