The 25″ Trophy was my preferred prop on my Classic with my 2.5 liter 200. It had a decent hole shot, excellent mid range and very good on top. In stock form it would regularly run 74-75 mph when fishing alone with all my tackle. If you are in fact turning 6000 rpms you should be running in the low 70s. However it is possible that your Tach is off slightly. Its not out of the norm for a tach to read a couple hundred rpms off. As far as the rpm limits on the 2.5 liters, the book says 5800 but I never hit a rev limiter on mine and routinely turned it to 6200 rpms with no mechanical issues. Thats about as high as I would want to go on the rpms. That small block loves to spin up. The engine height is a trial and error deal. You dont sound like you are high. If you dont have alot of tourque on the wheel you can probably come up 1/4 inch. With my Trophy, I had my manual plate right at 1/2″ above flush. Thats where it liked to be. As BCB states regularly, your engine height should be determined by the tourque on the wheel. If you get to a height where you start getting alot of tourque on the wheel then you should stop and drop it a tad. Good luck and I hope this helps a little. Although I know its pretty basic information. I have very limited experience with the Furys so I cant offer an intelligent opinion on how it will perform.
