    2004 520vx with 2013 evinrude 225 etech HO. Prop?

    Please help with prop selection. I am repowering with the 2013 etech. From 2004 HO. I've got a Bob's jackplate. For the life of me I cant figure out which prop I have. No markings on it whatsoever. Came with the boat 10 years ago.

    If I had that rig my first choice in a 3-blade would be a 25 Fury, and my first choice in a 4-blade would be a 24 pitch Fury 4 or Croxton Razor XL. All of these require the Flo-Torq hub kit, but these choices [imo] are superior to the Raker II which normally comes on these engines.

    I have a ProXs on my 520vx. There Fury 4 is the best prop I’ve ever ran because i still het the best of both worlds on a 3 and 4 blade and the Fury 4 will power load without even thinking.

    My 07 520 vs with 07 225 ho loves a 25 fury in spring and a 24 fury 3 in summertime 2.50” ptp. I have spent thousands of dollars on props for this thing. Marks razor4xl 24 was good but 66mph prop. 69-70 with the 25 fury.

    Give me a call Steve 916 813 0321
    Need gear ratio and rev limiter specs
    also need current performance numbers
    I suspect a 25 Tempest or 24 Fury depending on what is most important to you
    I have very nice reworked 25 Fury you can try out to get some idea of baseline data, though I doubt it will turn the RPM you need
    I live in Carmichael and kevin works in the south area so we could hook up get it in your hands,
    May need a hub kit to install it on a Rude though
    Thank You Leon Pugh

    update.
    I bought both a Fury 3 25p and a 24p fury 4.
    ran them both the other day. The 24 was great in all aspects(hole shot) and smoothness but got only 62 mph max. The fury 3 was a bit slower out of the hole felt fine in the middle and got to 66. I’m having the 25 worked on here at tru pitch in California. Curious to see if this makes any difference. The 25 was a backup I bought from another bbc member. It had rough edges and def looked used.
