Hello all, brand new to the forum and proud new checkmate owner.
Forgive the first post involving likely the most over talked subject.... but I'm honestly just looking for a shortcut, so I can get a prop ordered.
Here's what I have:
2009 21 pulsare closed deck
2010 mercury 300 proxs
12" sea star hydraulic lift/setback
Fleet master gearcase
Best speed to date is 82 on gps with a 26" (drag maybe?)4 blade mercury chopper. This prop came on the boat.
Achieved at full lift on the transom with myself and a passenger (330lbs combined) approx 3/4 tank of gas, 6"-12" chop. Into the wind was 81mph, with wind 82mph. Hitting the rev limiter at 6400 rpms.
Tried an old 27" hoss 3 blade chopper that I ran on a hydrostream years ago and saw the same results. Almost identical infact.
I'm sure the question has been beaten to death but is there a tried and true prop that will get the most out of this boat?
I've also read that this boat with a 300xs is capable of 95mph with a sport master gearcase... any truth to that? I'm guessing my fleetmaster is going to max out in the high 80's without a nosecone..
Absolutely in love with the boat. And the 300xs is incredible.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
