    Ranger Z520c prop selection

    I've got a 2013 Ranger Z520c Carbon with 250 Pro XS running a tempest 24P 3 blade. Turning 6200 at about 70. I'm looking for a 4 blade. I've got two local guys with Trophy 4 blades. One is a 24p 4 blade and one is a 26p 4 blade. Any recommendations or compared to what some of you are running on similar set up would be appreciated.

    You’ll never get your rpm's were they should be with a 26. I don’t have a 520C but I’m running a 520vx with a 250 ProXs and a 25p Fury 4 at 5800/5900 and 70/71 mph at 2 1/4 below pad. You will probably hear alot that the Fury4 likes to run deep but not on the Rangers. I am running my Fury 4 higher than any prop I’ve had on my boat and thats been alot lol

    I also run my Fury 4 at 2-1/4" below the pad. I started with a 25P, but settled on a 24P. With the 25P, my rpm's suffered in the Texas summer heat. I was only able to turn it 5500-5600 rpms at 68ish tournament loaded with a partner. With the 24P, I'm turning 5850-5900 at 70ish.

    A 25" Bravo xs runs very well on the set up.

    I have been playing with a bunch of props on my new to me 14 520c with a 250 xs.
    24p fury 4 runs very well at 71-72 at 2200 feet elevation.
    My fastest prop is a 25p a45 tempest b and b ed by mark at 73 at the same elevation. RPMs are right around 5850
