Darrell,What motor are you running and what boat? I am contemplating moving to the Coeur d Alene area and just trying to figure out to prop a boat when I move there. I am currently living and working in Chile and will be moving back to the states in June. I want to purchase a 2013 Puma FTD and just wondering how to prop it.Garry

We would suggest a 26 Fury for most with this rig at 160 feet.

Smaller like a 24 Fury and maybe a 25 High Five at a bit higher altitude than this. BCB

BCB,I had a Legend Bass 211 with a 250 proxs and I used a 25 Fury at that elevation and would hit 5600 to 5800 rpms. I figured the Puma FTD. would out perform the Legend and might be able to handle a 26 Fury at the elevation of 2,155. The water is cold and the engines perform a lot better.Garry

Gary, Im out of Missoula and fish Couer D Alene quite a bit, I run a 24 Fury on a PIV, but most of the 250HP guys are running a 25 or 26 Fury. CDA is a speed limit lake (55), I think youll be better off with the 25 pitch.
