Bob Krenn Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Hello All, I just pickup up my HPS a 10 days ago. I have been getting it ready to fish with a new 112# ulterra, 2 Garmin's 8 & 10", VHF Radio, Flush mount gunnel rod holders. I have had it out and have not seen anything over 53 mph on it. I have the T-Top with soft top, 250SHO, 4 lithuim batteries to save weight, atlas jackplate and a HT 14" diameter X 18 pitch prop. It is fast out of the hole, but it is all I can do to get it to 53 and max 6100 rpm's. I have a new mercury tempest plus 19 pitch ordered as I hear they are a great prop for this boat. I hope I can get it to at least 58 mph and would love to hear from somebody with a similar equipped boat to see what they are getting for speed and hole shot. I will get pic's up soon. Thanks in advance, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunstone Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 I'm running a power tech 3 blade 22 no t top usually run 61 - 63 by myself. Put another person on drops to 59 - 61 hole shot and mid range are good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradM Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 Hey Bob, post back when you run that Tempest. I may venture into a 3 blade for longer runs, but am a huge fan of the overall performance a 4 blade provides. Mod: Can you please move this to the correct forum. It took me a while to find this as I was looking in all the wrong places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
