Ok guys,
Tournament season is in full swing out here in west Texas.
So the lake we have been running is off limits to us about as much or more of the time than it is open.
My point being--- when we are able to get on the water it is more for locating fish than doing a lot of testing. And the Darn wind has been relentless.......What we have been doing is putting a prop on for the whole day, then change the next and hope the wind will give us a chance to make a decent run.
There are 3 of us with new 21 ftrs - and here are the results.
These speeds are all with the Garmin dash mount gps top speed recall.
The lake is about 1400 ft elevation. The best speeds were done with 2 on board, REAL time tournament load AND NO water in wet well.
2006 prosport/225 promax a few mods. best speed 81.2
29 RE3 Mazco --6600 rpm 81.2
28 RE4 " " ---6400 " 80.5
28 Drag 4 ---6600 " 81.0
26 trophy ---6400 " 78.4
There is a lot of slip for some reason by those numbers. I have added 1 inch more setback Per Darris from original.
2005 prosport elite/250xs this boat came with a 25 trophy and needs a bigger wheel--- best speed to date is 78.9 I am not sure but I don't think it will always hit the limiter.. This boat is loaded heavy--however it will run almost identical top speed with 3 on board. so I think it could use a bigger wheel and a little higher propshaft height and could see an improvment.
2006 bass sport pro/280 bass-- best speed to date is 84.5 with a 26 trophy.
I do not know all the numbers, but he has ran several props including a big ear chopper and a 28 RE4.
We sure thought they would run better than that without a lot of trouble.
especialy when we keep hearing that they will run 90 with a 200
