    Prop suggestions for 721

    So my 2017 Phoenix 721 with a two-stroke 250 pro XS is turning about 5,600 RPM tournament load I have two 12 ft talons and lithium batteries in the back I cannot get it past 70 mph prop to pad is about 3 and 1/4 running a 25p fury
    I was wondering if I should go lower on the jack plate or higher also people have made suggestions that it's not enough weight in the back now that I remove the lead batteries

    I assume you have a manual jackplate? Also, If you posted this on facebook, I'm the guy with the spark issue. May want to try another set if this happened after you changed them.

    That also is not enough setback. Need at least 10 but preferably 12. 10" May work being you have Talons which are heavier. Get you some 2" spacers to try. If you like, I have some I could send to try. Also get prop worked to add lift to it.

    Are you sure it's an 8" plate? I thought they were coming with 10" in 2017.

    Is this how it's always ran with the current setup or has it just now dropped to these numbers?
