I have two solid plugs and 1 small. Hole shot is a little slow.. Top speed is there, I actually could squeeze another 300 rpm out of it. But the water has to be colder. But since i switched to Lithium batteries, I am working on the setup again.

Yeah, what you're running it on is what dictates what prop you're using. I could turn a 32 on my Allison, but you can't on most bass hulls. A 22' bay boat might only turn a 21 with a 250, so it's all relevant.

Got to start with something known. What prop are you running now, and what is it doing?

You’ll usually drop 200-300 rpms for each inch of pitch change. So expect that.

like Pat said. if your 25 was running , lets say... 5800 rpms at wot then the exact same prop in a 27 will turn 400 less rpms and could be slightly slower on the hole shot.
now.. if that 27p is a tempest.. then you can run it about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher on the jack plate. that will gain you some lost rpm back. as the larger diameter tempest can run higher than a fury.

So the answer is yes you can run it. Are you going to like the results ? Highly unlikely.
