tempest seems to be the prop of choice for the paramount guys to get as much boat out of the water as possible.

Tempest or Trophy are good out of box.

Tempest with a shortened barrel. Loads of bow lift. I'm running a 29p, worked tips, cut barrel tempest on my V-King and I really like it. Slip #'s down in the 6% range. I keep the engine at neutral trim and get all the bow lift I need. It's fast, it cruises, it's great on fuel. Boat handles well at speed. Planes good too. Hard to beat really. This is the prop i'm running in my avatar pic.
