    2018 z21 performance

    boat: 2018 z21
    engine: 2018 PRO XS 250 hp 2 stroke
    prop: 24p fury
    jackplate: 12in atlas hydraulic

    Could anyone comment as to what they are getting for speed and rpms at WOT with a full load as well as unloaded for this rig?

    Thanks!

    I don't have a 2 Stroke, (newer 4 stroke) but here is what I see -
    Full tournament load w/2 guys, full fuel/livewells- 64-66
    half load of fuel, empty livewells, 66-68
    Best I've ever seen, solo w/nearly empty tackle/livewells/fuel - 74mph.

    I run 24p Fury 4 normally - best I've seen is w/23p Fury 3.

    I prefer the 4b prop, the holeshot is sick and I can leasurely cruise on plane at 20-24mph. Don't normally care about being the fastest boat in the field.

    Dual, I was always running a Tempest though. I never liked the Fury on the 2 stroke.

    Loaded speeds only depending on weather. We are Low elevation too. Cooler months were touching 70.

    Hmmm, trying to remember if i ran a 24 or 25 on my 2017. I think it was a 25p. Tempest carry's the load alot better, the fury's on the newer models seem to do well.

    I tried both a 25 and a 24 last year, my fury was better. Maybe ill try a different tempest.
