Hey guys- I have a 99 PIII with a 200 Optimax. Im turning a 25 Tempest Plus. Im getting 5700 RPMs and 68-70 with tourney load. The hole shot is not awesome, but its tolerable. I have the motor set at 3.25″ below pad and 3 medium plugs in the prop. I hope this helps, and Id be interested to hear anyone else performance numbers with this boat.1999 Pantera III 1999 200 Opti 25P Tempest Minn Kota Maxxum 70 2 Pinpoint 7520s
