    Prop?

    I’m running a 23 fury on a 2019 Z20 250 4stroke, it seems that’s the most common but is anyone running anything different? If so, what and what kind of top end are you getting?

    I’m running a 24 tempest, it runs about 69 but seems to run out of rpm’s. Have a 24 fury that runs 70+ empty but can bog down loaded. Would love to try a 23 fury, thinking it’d be the right prop for me.

    I’m running70-71 tourney loaded and 2 people , so it’s a good fit . I’m just looking to squeeze a little more out!
    Ive never ran a worked prop , thought about trying that. Just curious to see what others are running and get their thoughts.

    It's been a little while since I've seen a prop thread, curious what most people are running nowadays. I have had dual console graphs for a while now, and finally got the kit to relocate my gauges so I can actually see my rpms now . I had no idea I was hitting redline on my tempest, I need to swap props again and see what rpms I'm at with my 24 fury.

    I know most people run 24 furys and that seems to be the all around best prop. I'd strongly consider a 4 blade though, or maybe a 23p fury, as I'd rather have it set up for full fuel, livewells full, co angler etc.

    I am running a 24 Fury on my 2022 Z20 turning 6150-6200, I run pretty light , live wells usually empty as i don't tournament fish much any more but 73 - 74 my consistent top end, but have seen higher on those nice days when I feel like driving. Downside for me is the only way I prevent blowout on hole shot is by burying the jack plate, then raising the plate once on pad. Sweet spot on my Atlas Gauge is 11-12, I don't know the Prop to pad distance of this but its just over half way up and any higher I start losing water pressure. All PVS holes completely plugged. Without the plugs it would blow out regardless of the Jackplate height.
