joshb Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 I just picked up a 2024 21 Redfisher with 300hp yamaha. Running light (2 people, 1 battery, 15 gal gas, single power pole, no other electronics yet) I had a 2 way average of 65.0 mph. That was 67.0 with the wind and 63.0 against the wind. Minimal current as far as I could tell. Hard time getting to 5800 rpm to do that. Once I get trolling motor, second power pole, batteries (lithium) and more gas/gear, I think I will be over propped by 1-2 inches. Currently have a Yamaha Saltwater Series HS 4 blade. Midrange performance and fuel economy were impressive. Won't be able to run it again until after rigging so may be a couple weeks to test my theory. Anyways, what are others running on the 300? Any recommendations? Thanks! Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshb Posted May 14 Author Report Share Posted May 14 Sorry I missed the replies. 23 pitch HS4. First run loaded will be this weekend. I will keep you all updated on performance. Thanks Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshb Posted May 20 Author Report Share Posted May 20 Ran the boat with a load this weekend. Empty live wells. 2/3 tank of gas. 4 guys. Extra cooler. Gear etc. 59-60 mph 5400 RPM with motor likely trimmed higher than ideal to get there I feel like the same HS4 prop in 21" might be a better fit for hole shot and running loaded. Any thoughts? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Seither Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 What is your norm? 2 with fishing gear or 4 folks loaded down? If in doubt get with Ken and Markus on prop recommendations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
