Jason,I would guess the 23 Tempest Plus would probably do the best of both worlds here for you. I have a 23 Temp and a 25 Temp that I run. If you fish with a tournament loaded boat with a buddy and his gear, I would definately choose the 23. If you do more pleasure fishing with a light load (livewells empty) the 25 might be the one to run. Most of it depends on how you plan to use the boat pleasure and light or tournament and loaded. Hope this helps you some.

Jason,I meant to mention I read your other posts and noticed you were in Knoxville, TN. I am in Athens, TN if you would like to take a ride and see for yourself which you might prefer. I have a 2003 Sabre with 150 xr6 single console. From what Ive read on this sight my motor turns a few more RPMs than the new ones seem to be getting. From what Ive read here the new xr6s average about 5600-5800 where I turn around 6000+ with mine. My home number is 423-745-6958,Travis Snyder

I have a Dual console 05 Sabre with the XR6. I have the 23P stock, and its a great prop. Im seeing 63.5mph, full gas, light load, by myself. I will probably get a 24-25P sometime in the near future because I fish alone alot, and like going fast. You wont be disappointed by the 23P holeshot or midrange punch.2005 Sabre, 150 XR6, Minn Kota Fortrex with Lowrance electronics

Thanks for all your opinions. I believe Im going to bite the bullet and buy a new BassCat from River Side Marine in Nashville. They had it set up with a 25 Tempest. After I get it broken it Ill update on this prop. – Jason

Good Luck with your new boat and I think you will like the 25 prop. I saw an 05 Sabre in Nichols Marine in Chattanooga with a 25 and asked them how it ran and they said it ran good and they had not even played with the motor height. If Im not mistaken the boat is still for sale at a great price. If you want to look at it go to “nicholsmarine.net” then go to their “new in stock”. It will make someone a great boat. I have seen it in person. It does not have a swingaway tongue on it though. Travis
