2024 cougar ftd prop and jackplate setup

2024 cougar Ftd with the 250 pro xs. What prop and jack plate are you guys running on these boats? Boat came with manual jack plate but planning on going hydraulic soon. Will be running dual power poles and probably have 3 or 4 batteries when everything is rigged.Also came with a 23p 3 blade fury. Any suggestions are appreciated. New bass cat owner here. What kind of top speeds are you guys seeing out of this boat?

Congrats on the new Bass Cat! The 23p Fury is good, but a 24p Fury or Bravo I XS might suit your setup better (dual poles, 3-4 batteries). When you go hydraulic, start with the plate 2.5″ below the pad and tweak from there. You should hit low to mid-70s on top speed. Keep an eye on RPMs and water pressure. Enjoy the ride!
