Tested 25 and 26 Fury

Did some prop swapping with a buddy’s Legend and the 26 was too much even raised 1/2”, the 25 hit 66.2 on another run though SD card was full unfortunately. It still did over 65 with livewell full, need to go to a bigger lake on a less windy day as think it has a little more rpm left.

I am going out to a larger lake saturday where room to run and truly test it out. I will see what the RPMs at when im maxing out. When i hit 64 it still feels like she had more to give, just ran out of lake.

The Fury runs steep and even if you consider it to be an almost 1” taller prop your slip numbers are maxed out along with the RPM’s, though looking forward to hearing back. Simon Motorsports supposedly bumped limiter to 6400 before the EPA shut them down for aftermarket tuning, so I believe the engines are still making power over 6k.

Went to bigger lake and of course with the light winds there were a lot of boats out making waves, but got a decent break to air it out. Also got to drive 175hp 4-stroke pictured, didn’t really push it being not my boat and not really comfortable with hot foot. Though easily did 63 on a short burst with the owner and liked the hole shot/mid-range acceleration as the extra torque was noticeable. Not sure I can justify it to the wife, but now that mine’s out of warranty if anything happens I’ll upgrade to it as wish it was available to order when I bought mine.

Well I finally got a chance to test out a run. I got up to 62mph and i was dead nuts 6000rpm. I ran out of lake to see how much father i could push it but she was still trying to go.

The ProXS supposedly makes 5hp more than my standard 4-stroke, so if propped right it should be able to push the boat to 67+

Yeah i need to get out and run some more tests, I also think the ability to max out the preformace will help when I upgrade to a hydralic Jack plate

I played with jack plate heights from 1/4” lower to 1/2” raised, but have ended up back at the factory flush for best all around performance, different props have more of a characteristic change than the engine height in my experience.
