How fast does the 200 run?Ever used in brackish/salt water?

Thanks….Just started looking. Any idea for range of costs for used P4?

[MDBASSNPRO]

Thanks Guys. Looks like P4 is newer and the Jaguar may be a way to stay near $15K.It seems like dual consoles are not as common as single console. I am looking for DC for family trips. If my research is correct, 2004 is first year for bolt on console additions.Checked BBC and looks like several looking to sell. From what I read, a 200 MERC on P4 will run close to 70 and need to step to 225 for 70 on the 20 Jaguar and Puma.Is that what you are getting on your rig?

Thanks Mike. Thats what I was thinking.Now just have to hope Fall brings some more sellers.

[MDBASSNPRO]

Good looking rig…..I am on a budget…good luck.

[MDBASSNPRO]

Still looking

[MDBASSNPRO]

Dual consoles only…family request

Andy – Very nice boat and motor but cant compromise on dual console.Thanks for looking.

Thanks PumaDave. I am still learning what the pitch gives you and certainly wasnt thinking 25 so good I asked the question. Sounds like the lower pitch is needed because 225 is working to push. What RPMs for conditions above do you see?Also ever tried any tubing or family stuff with the 25F?

Owner currently has 26 Fury on it in Midwest and has not run a 25 but has tried Tempest and Trophy at 26 and 27. Tempest 26 supposedly ran good but Fury preferred. Supposedly also tried a Tempest 25 and lost on both ends so it sounds like 25 Fury may be the choice. All around performance also sounded like Trophy would be good for backup. I am near Baltimore, MD so will be at sea level freshwater most of the time. I think the sea level should be more of a benefit for all around performance not to mention lower humidity most of the year.I will see if I can find marina who reps Mercury nearby to try (1) 25 Fury (2) 26 Fury (3) 26 Trophy and do a deal.Any idea/location to pickup almost new 25 Fury? Price?

[MDBASSNPRO]

Thanks Mike. About twice what I am looking to invest at this time.Looking at one today….will update yall.

Test run with 26 Fury and 2 people, gas, no water in live wells was 75 gps at 5900RPM. Hole shot pretty good. 60 deg air. Hopefully before thanksgiving can get another run with 25 Fury to see if holeshot is better.

Getting 2005 puma with 225 pro xs next week. Been away from piloting bass boat for 10 years but sure ready to get back.I am going to try a 25 Trophy Plus as I think BCB ships boats new with 25s. See a lot of 26 Fury and Trophies but seriously considering the 25 Fury.I understand 4 blade is better bite for hole shot and control but dont know is that is all around best performer.Why choose a 4 blade prop over 3 blade? Which prop type and blade count is best for control with good overall performance?
