Z9 what’s your suggestion for the best prop?

[NewNitro]

Going from and old Winner boat with 200 HP carbed motor and 25 pitch Tempest Plus 3 1/2” pad to prop to the Z9 and 250ProXS. It had a 25 pitch Fury when I bought it with all plugs out. Great hole shot but no bow lift at all and with a hydraulic jackplate the best I can get is 5400 RPM and 70 MPH not concerned about top end but the old Winner with the Tempest Plus would do 68 with same load and set up. Anyone having better numbers and bow lift?

25P Tempest Plus will be your best prop for that boat if you want bow lift. Getting 70 with the Fury is a really good number. My 2013 Z9 would run 68ish all day long with a full tourney load with the 25P Tempest.

Mercury 24 pitch Bravo 1 Xs r Marks 24 Razor 4 XL and at least 12 inchs of setback

[BMCD]

think most Z9s came with 10 inches of setback.

my 2012 z8 i had a 10" i put a 12" cmc hydralic and added bobs 2" spacers that really woke that boat up my 2020 z21 300 pro xs came with a12"atlas i added bobs 2" spacers on it these NITROS really respond well to having 14" of setback
