    Prop opinions for a vxs20

    Hello all. Not sure if anyone has any experience with the new vxs20 yet. I've had the boat for two weeks and can't get 70 out of her (68.5) with the fury 23p 4 blade the boat came with. The boat is fully loaded gas, tourney gear etc. Hole shot is really incredible!! Best I've ever seen in a tourney loaded bass boat. Going to try a fury23p 3 blade this week. Any info or advice is greatly appreciated.

    That is what I will be doing when my new VXs20 is delivered sir! I think the 23p 3-blade Fury will get you to 70mph.

    I am of the same mindset sir! In addition, it's always better to have two propellers just in case something happens.

    Well actually I run two props a rev 4 that mark has built with 250 merc it hit 67mph at 6090rpm the 22 tempest run 66mph at 6120rpm it sock out of the box I’ll be sending it to mark also at some point. My vx21 never did like the fury 3 blade it like the fury 4 blade but slung two blades off two fury 4 blades. The tempest will carry a load better than fury and has more lift tempest is all I use to run on my 521c .

    That’s good every prop different and every boat different I just couldn’t get any speed out of my fury 3 blade but the vxs 20 is way different boat than vx21 I’m thinking about putting a 300R on mine or trade it for vxs20 just not decided yet.

    It's wonderful to hear that! I'm looking forward to achieving comparable performance (hopefully) with my new VXs20!

    The vxs is one good lookin boat. Just saw one in person for the first time today while at the dealer. Vexus should have started out with this model.
