    Merc P2P

    Running a 23p Fury3 at 3.75", curious at what P2P I should expect to run a Fury4, a Tempest Plus, and a Bravo 1 XS.

    Motor is a 225 Merc FS, currently turning 5900 on the best days, 71-73gps. Would like to perhaps get closer to the 6200 rpm.

    Thanks. side note: g3 diag has confirmed 100% throttle.

    A Bravo FS in 24 p at 2 3/4" PTP or a 23 Tempest Plus at 3.00" to 2 3/4" PTP should put you very close to 6200 rpms.

    Went yesterday and ran the tempest+ 24 at 3.75 and 3.5, turned 6050 72.5gps and 6170 73.5gps respectively, still pegging my psi so probably have some more raising available. Ride improvement tremendously just on that .25 rise; much higher on the water. The holeshot is not quite the fury (need to tweak with plugs breaking over 4000) and the midrange definitely leaves something to be desired but I was overall very pleased. May still find a bravo to test, last one I tried (25p xs 4plugged) got to wot as fast as I ever have.

    hull is an alpha199 fyi
