OK guys, as requested, this will be the official setup thread. You can bring your posts over from Mike's setup topic if you want so it will be easier for others to check back to in this one thread. I'll sticky it to the top.

Also, check out the BBC owners page for more setups... http://bassboatcentral.com/legend.htm

'07 LE-21 DCX / 225 ProXS
3.25"-3.5" below the pad (10" hydraulic plate)
26" Trophy with two small PVS plugs and two regular size
So far... 74 Loaded with 1 guy @5700RPM,
72-73 Loaded with two guys


Light load: With minimal tackle and about a half a tank of gas, by myself, I got 76 today with the same setup as above. Taking it down to 3.5" below lost about 3 tenths of a mph.

Not sure... I've seen 76 with maybe 50 lbs aboard by myself. From what I've heard conditions were perfect that day.

I have a Legend LE-186 with a 150 Mercury Optimax

It has a 23 Pitch tempest plus with 3 vent holes and such

I have about 6 1/2 hours on engine

It is I believe at 3.5 inches below pad with a 10 inch jackplate

I am running on a medium to heavy load to 5400 RPM's and 59.8 MPH GPS Speed

It feels that there is more to be had, I am only getting 5400 RPMS, It has a hot foot, could that need to be adjusted?

Or should I raise it a bit? This is trimmed up and my rooster tail is about halfway up the engine cowling.


Any help would be apprecatiated.http://www.NickBarrFishing.com

Well at the Classic I did the following:

'08 Alpha 211/ Merc 250 ProXS

78 @ 6000
27 tempest
3.25" below pad
40 deg air temp
51 deg water temp
light breeze and a little chop.
Ran 77 all day out east, came back to Austin and could only get 75 out of her, go figure, and the rpms weren't too far from what I was running out east, so I'm blaming it on the nasty hard water. My boat always runs better on East TX lakes too.

'09 Alpha 211
250 ProXS
Hydraulic Jackplate

Prop 1: 26 Trophy Plus Stock
5700 RPM
72 MPH
Two guys, heavy tourny load, full wells and full tank

Notes: Jackplate and trim seem to be very important on speed and RPM. You could easily turn 6000+ but didn't gain speed. Probably due to slip caused by overtrimming and jackplate too high. Adjusted plate and trim and found out the above to be optimal.

Prop 2: 27 Tempest Plus worked at DAH Custom Props
5800 RPM
75 MPH
Two guys, hvy tourny load, 1/2 tank of fuel, empty wells

Notes: Again, the plate and trim were very important. Over trimming and plate too high caused more RPM's and slower speeds. Still respectable for a 3 blade. Great holeshot for the Tempest too. Prop was cut for speed and some lift.

Planning on trying a 28 Tempest, 27 Trophy II this weekend. Will report..


It's just me, my family and my Alpha 211

It just don't get any better than this!!

I to have perty mush the same set-up, A-211, M 250 running a 26 Tempest, dual counsel, 4 batteries? After break in got, 72mph fully load with two and live wells full. Ran 55 minutes one way before I shut it down. (Weighted in 18lbs.)

Last week playing around raised the jack plate and got 75 load, full tank and live wells full. 5800 rpm, psi 26. But this was on a lake that had a lot of turns. Going to raise again and will be out on the water Monday-Thrusday, KY Lake.

We tried a prop that makes a Bullit run but couldn't get a hole shot nor did it make much different on top end. Still looking for a better prop? John at Marina Works,KY is work to get the extra MPH if possible.

The boat runs good in rough water and like another post it will turn heads.
