    721 SHO Props - what are you running?

    Who’s got their 721 dialed in with the SHO? Getting a sho put on as we speak, what prop are you running on that combo?

    Gotcha. Was recommended 25 T1/T2.
    I ran a 26 Fury and 27 Tempest+ on the Merc. Was thinking I may need bigger on the SHO than 25.

    There are a few guys running 26 and 27 t1/2's on them but the sho likes to be spun. The 2 stroke merc was quicker set up turning around 5800 at wot. The sho is quicker when set up to turn 6100

    A worked 25 t-1 or t-2 should be the ticket

    With the higher RPM, what's the new speed?

    Both my bravo and T2 run right at the same speed. Seen 78 tourney loaded with 2 in cooler weather. Dead heat of the summer they're both 74-75.
    SHO prop rides better in chop, bravo takes off and handles better

    Great feedback! Thank you. Purchased a T2 25 to try out. I'll keep the Bravo in mind. Is it a 25 as well?

    You will eventually. Talk to croxton about them. He will tell you they are thin and only good for about 40hrs of WOT time. That doesn't sound like a lot but it's a couple of years based on use and it could go longer or shorter. 280ss, you probably want the XS or FS. The FS is non vented but the XS is more popular because of the vents which you can plug for the SHO.
