I recently bought a 92 Pantera with a 2020 Mercury 200 fourstroke V8. It came with a Fury 3 22p and at the moment I’m just able to get it up to 5600 rpm which gets me about 60-63mph. That’s with the motor at 4in p2p.
A couple friends who run jaguar and eyra love 4 blade props and I was thinking I might like that as well, I tested some 4 blades they had, fury 4 26 and Trophy 25, but both of these I could barely get to 5000. So I’m guessing if I wanted to run a 4 I’d probably need a 23 or so pitch. I’ve also tried the motor up a bit at 3.5 ptp with the fury 3 and it starts to blow out and didn’t gain any rpm.
Reading around it seems like this setup would be an easy 70mph boat and I was curious if that sounds reasonable, and if my setup, prop and motor height, seems optimal for this boat.
