2010 predator, 225 pro xs

Walleye 100% Club · **Posted:** Fri Aug 08, 2014 10:30 pm

Does anyone on here have a 2014 predator model 2010 with a 225 pro xs rigged to do more than 56-57 mph?
I have a 21 pitch tempest plus prop and wonder if a 19 will give me 60?

What are your rpm's at wide open throttle with the 21?

With a 21 RPM are around 58-5900 as is the 23-4 blade almost same speed and identical RPM's

Mid summer @5900 is too high(assuming your tach is right). Once cooler temps hit you will hit the rev limiter with the 21" .

A 4-blade will usually be one pitch higher, so what you've said makes sense.

Go to a bigger prop. 22"/23" tempest . Your dealer should be able to help you out .

check with your dealer they don't make the Predator 2010 in the year 2014

I would try the 24 Fury or a 23 Fury....

Thanks Colin and everyone else as I will likely take it to Glenn Thompson as if anyone else can help it may be him!

No Problem Paul, the Fury will gove you better hole shot and rough water handling, the speed trade off is minuscule...

Of course a worked 23 Tempest Plus will give you the best top end but the sacrifice is going to be cavitation in rough water.

If bow lift is not an issue with the 4 blade you may want to try a 24 pitch Trophy....
