Puma STS Performance

[Bass Cat Boats]

We prefer the Fury propeller in 3 blade on that rig and while it will run with a Fury 4, they are not as efficient on top end. Obviously that was a propeller choice you or your dealership made. We do not select propellers and only suggest. We never know the intent as we get all sorts of exchanges in the field.

Chaneyj, you should be seeing more performance with the 300.  I have a 250 on mine with the same 24 Fury 4 and I’m on the rev limiter @ 76mph  loaded/unloaded doesn’t make much difference.  I am going to experiment with some props this weekend starting with a 25 Fury 4.  What RPM are you turning?

BCB, thanks for the info. I guess I need to start digging around for a 3 blade.

BDRisely, 75.7 is all I have been able to get. I haven’t specifically looked at the RPM at that speed, but it is over 6K at 73mph. Again still learning all of this, but I think the rev limit may be at 6200.

I think you are on the limiter and that’s why you’re not seeing more speed.  Try a 25 Fury 3, you’ll get more top end but hole shot and handling will not be as good.  My friend has a Puma STS with a 300 and he’s seen 79.8 with a 3 blade Fury, can’t remember the pitch.
