Currently running a 25P Fury on a 2013 Mercury 250XS. Boat is a 2006 21' Champion Elite 206. Chine walking pretty good at 65mph, while turning 5200rpm's, WOT is yet unknown. Wanting the speed with a little more bite.
BTW, the 2006 225 Evinrude E-tec take-off is for sale!

You need to get past that & get some good numbers of rpm & speed before we can help
with a prop recommendation.
I know a lot of guys with your combination run the Fury & seem happy with it... especially after I put my "mod job" to them!!!
So, work on the setup some more & we'll be able to help you.
the fury is the most common prop on that rig.
however a modified tempest depending on weight of a 25 or 26 is much better.
reason is.. you can run a tempest higher and it helps eliminate the chine walking.
I use a 27p Trophy Plus.
Prop Shaft is ~ 4" below pad. Also, Fury prop has all three solid (PVS) plugs installed, would this have any impact on my holeshot being terrible as well? I don't believe these plugs have any impact on top-end speed, although I could be wrong.Quote:

If you find that it ventillates too much getting out of the hole then put one or two back in.
Will definitely give this a shot. anyone with an opinion on the motor height?Quote:

If you can shake the motor back & forth, then when you get up to speed and have to start "driving" the boat, you'll always be behind trying to catch up with the walking.
Hope this helps a little?
Good info about the vent plugs!!!
jmo
Fury's don't come with vent plugs in the barrell. never had to put em in when that prop is on a mercury.
i'd set the prop height at 3.5" below pad with a fury.
3.25 below with a tempest.
test from there.
the 206 champ's just don't run really good with a motor really high. that's why so many guys love the fury on the 206 and 210's killer holeshots.
