    Prop Advice

    I am in the process of testing out new props for my 2018 300R 4 stroke mounted on a 2018 Triton 22TRX. All props tested so far have been tested with 2 people (approx. 340lbs), 3/4 tank gas, full tournament load, and empty live wells with water temps in the upper 80s and air temps near 100. The 23p Fury ran great but I'm a little concerned that when it cools off I will be hitting the rev limiter. With the info provided below does anyone have any suggestions on additional props to test or should I be content with one of the ones I've already ran. If more information is needed please let me know. I also have a 24p Bravo on hand that I will be testing in the very near future. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    23p Fury 3
    6350-6400 RPM's
    77.5 MPH
    Great Hole shot

    24p Fury 3
    6000-6100 RPM's
    73.5 MPH
    Good Hole Shot

    25p Tempest plus
    5800-5900 RPM's
    64 MPH
    Horrible Hole Shot

    Please see the Announcements and provide the required info:

    Fury 4 May also be a viable choice. Definitely try the Bravo-1 FS

    With the coming of cooler and dryer air the motor will be making more power. So, mind the throttle if and when the RPM is nearing the red line so as to not let the motor over speed. That or change to a different propeller in the winter time.
