    98 Johnson Venom 200 Prop recommendations

    I bought this boat back in 2012 and went with a 5 blade Fury from the 3 blade Fury (i swapped with dealer) so I could pull the kids on tubes.
    Speed wasnt an issue on the inland lakes that we run in Northeast Ohio
    Well, I want the speed back because my TR20 will only go about mid 50s and I am getting into more tournament fishing.

    I cannot get my hands on props to try different ones so I need a good recommendation for this boat to get back into the 60 range.
    Any thoughts?

    I am a light load guy. I am 165 lbs, 180 lb passenger sometimes. Dual console, 3 batteries, minimal tackle. I dont carry alot.

    I ran a 24raker on my 95 225 Vindicator and was consistantly on 6k rpms....I carried everything I had on my 20' Sprint....I'd think that prop could work.....but with the hub kit and a Bravo prop I think you would be pleasantly surprised....24 p Bravo without the pvs holes.... I hope you have the upgraded drain plugs in the carbs and a fatter #2 high speed jet...

    I think i do have the updated #2 jet. I remember taking it out and verifying the number stamped on it with Championman.
    Also, if upgraded drain plugs is the "tit" on the end. They are upgraded.
    Thanks for the suggestions

    So I have a 97 tr21 with a 200 venom but I have a hydraulic jackplate. I've 3 different props. 24 and 25 tempest. The 24 will around 61 62mph. 25 was 59 60 mph. And the 24 ranker was 64 65 mph. With the 24 tempest with the hot weather I'm running with the plugs out but I have to come out of the hole with the jackplate down so it doesn't blow out as bad. But it's still out the hole fast than the 24 ranker. Once on plane I will bring the jackplate 3/4 to as high as it will that's when it runs its best.
