20 foot Euro Hull Prop to Pad Measurement (Puma and Cougar) 2009-2010

Year model?

no vote here. there are too many variances to say one height is better than another. Fury props are generally lower than anything else and are very performance forgiving regardless of the height. Fury props can get you into trouble real quick if they are too high. Trophy props that ive ran in the past are much higher. As high as 2 1/2 – 3″ below. most of that is with a 28 Trophy which has a little different in design than a 27 or 26 Trophy. Wouldnt waste my time with a Tempest prop.Where you are at sounds pretty close. Remove some of the weight out of the boat and it will increase the top end. i wouldnt worry too much about what everyone else is running height wise and do my own work. Raise the engine until your speed slows down or you have too much torque at the wheel. if you raise the engine and your speed doesnt change, then you are better off going back to the previous height. The only way to increase speed with a 250 Pro XS/Fury is to go higher in pitch and not necessarily increasing the rpms up to 6000. Your 5800 rpms are fine.by the way, there are no two props, two engines, loads, etc. that are the same so that is why the height deal is not that important. Again, make your own adjustments from where your at and youll find the best height. Good luck!
