That's the first I've ever heard of these motors actually turning a 21 pitch Tempest. Usually these only turn 19s. So to the OP, i'd probably start with the 19 and go from there.

Have a little hard time believing 56 on GPS? I have looked at these boats since they came out and never heard anything faster than 53 at best? Any gear or fuel on board? 21 pitch prop is pretty steep too. The hole shot must he pretty slow?

I call Bull. With the Pro XS 2.07 gear ratio, even with absolutely zero prop slip a 21" prop at 5600 rpm would yield 54mph.

had my 2012 reata 1850 rs with 175hp verado and with full tank and two 220lbs guys and all gear i had it at 49mph now dont think i maxed it out fully but if you can get 56mph out of your 175hp optimax well that would be awsome ,not sure what the most i can get out of mine yet as iam doing the 2 hour break in but figure maybe 50 - 52mph range well will wait and see

My 1860 with an F150/T8 and Powertech 4 blade will get into the 4% slip range in good water. (with a top speed of 48-49ish) \ Never seen an 1860 or 1850 run less than 9.5% slip with any three blade. With my 21P 3 blade "speed" prop I run 11% slip with a light load, topping out around 52 mph in good water. |

Well call bull if you like, 56 is the best I have ever seen, yes really lightly loaded and maybe even down wind, windshield open. I do see 54 often and it is GPS. I doubled checked, 21P tempest plus with holes partially closed with the plugs. Sometimes you get a fast one and maybe this is that time. My hole shot is not bad so this is working for me.

Fill it up with gas, put your gear in the boat and take a buddy along, then let us know how it performs. Most don't really care if you can go fast empty. I could take all the crap out of my boat, strip it down and probably gain 2mph, but that isn't exactly how I fish. If i wanted to just drive around and impress people I would have gotten a bass boat and pretended I was fishing......
