What is the best prop for a CX21 with Pro XS?
I'm running a 24 fury now. I'm not happy with it at all. Looking for a 24 Tempest plus to try and get some bow lift and hopefully more top end.

24 Tempest Plus after Mark Croxton works his magic. The Fury has no bow lift on my rig.
All depends on what you are looking for. I’ve tried several props on my boat. I like the 25.5” bravo fs the best. Good hole shot and mid range. I have speed limits on the lakes where I live so I haven’t pushed the upper limit. Most I’ve seen is 69mph.

Just like the Earl Bentz Tritons, the Caymas likes the tempest , I am running a 25 but I have a 300R on the back, I am sure I could run a 26 in the cooler months with no problem.
I love Croxton's 23 Razor XL. Great holeshot and 68-69 loaded heavy. Easy to drive. Much less expensive than the Bravo too!
Thanks, left Skeeter and new Caymas is coming soon
I have but not a whole lot of testing, only tried a 25 and 26 Fury and a 25 Tempest, 82 GPS with just me and a half tank of fuel, fairly sure someone could get 83 plus under the right conditions and maybe a 26 Tempest. My boat is plenty fast as is, 75 all day long with a full tourney load, plenty good for me. I will say this, when it gets really hot out the hole shot suffers big time, so does the top end but not terribly bad.
24 Tempest
If you think you have it bad...Look Around and BE THANKFUL because Someone Always Has it Worse!!
