| I have a 2008 2060dw with a 250 pro xs . I have tried several props and not happy with the top end speed. On gps 59-60 is the top end, hole shot is great. If any one else has the same rig I would love to know what prop you are running and your preformance. Thanks |

Location: Rhinelander | maurice, what's the tach reading, and what hole do you have the 250 mounted in? I'll dig around for you. |

| What props have you tried? What RPM's are you seeing with each? I expect that boat to be a mid 60+ performer We saw 63 from the Tuffy Factory 2060 with a 23 Tempest? The motor was the 250 XS. It wanted more, but we were at redline.
Anyway, I'm thinking maybe a 23 Rev4? Let me know, as I have one for sale. |

| I will check when i get home and see what hole we have it mounted on, its the one you told us to Steve. I have tried everything from a 17 to 23 and now I have a tempest 3 blad 19 which get me the correct rpms but not what it should have on top end. The 21 ran the same speed , but was about 3 thousand more rpms to go.  |

| Something isn't right here. A 19 would cause the motor to way over rev. Same gear ratio as on the Global Opti's, and more power should result in a higher pitch required. Going from a 19 to a 21 shouldn't leave you 3,000 RPM short. Maybe 300 is what you meant? But I still find it hard to believe your not over revving with that 19.
Could it be there is a tach issue? |

| OK, let's start over. You have a 24 Tempest. And your top speed is 59-60 GPS. Fully trimmed out? What are your RPM's at this speed? |
