Thats awesome. Im no prop guy but I thing you might be running too much prop. Im running a 24 p prop on mine. Keep us informed. great hull, you will be extremely happy.

What is your water pressure at 2.5" under and at 3" under? Looks like your setup is pretty good if you are going to be fishing mostly by yourself but once you have your partner in the boat and all his hear and a full livewell you may need less prop like suggested above. These are great boats and you will have a blast with it. I have tried a 23 and a 25. 23 is not enough becuase it will hit your rev limit and the 25 is great when I am running by myself or light with my partner but would like to go to a 24 for general use. How is your hole shot with these props and the height you are at? Just curious, always looking at different options.

Tempest 26 was 2.5 ,20 w/p ,Fury is 3.0 under,24 w/p..Holeshot w/ Fury is super maybe 3 sec. Tempest I have to feather at Breakover.Fury is not affected much w /partner,holeshot w/T load maybe 4 sec. a couple MPH slower..,This 25 Fury Rocks on this set-up..Tempest would Chine a little If I let it..Fury Is steady @ 71.09 even @ 3.0 under..

Sounds like you got it dialed in then. It looks like I need to try the fury. I have the same issue with my Tempest Plus wanting to chine some when it starts to get loose. I also have mine at 3" below pad. Seems that this works best for me as well. If I have it any more than this the chine walk gets pretty bad and I really have to drive her to keep her in it.
