Fury 3 vs Bravo ?

[GEEBASS2000]

I find my hull and outboard run about the same top end with a 25 Tempest or 25 Fury 3 however the Fury has the best hole shot of the two. I'm now thinking about trying a 26 Bravo because I hear they turn about the same rpms. My question is if I can turn a 26 Bravo to the same RPMs as a Tempest or Fury 3 will I see a top end speed gain or loss??

Also bow lift is no issue.

Bravo 1 and a Tempest turn about the same with the same pitch. Fury always seemed stiffer that both of them.

The Bravo1 will be 1-3 mph slower, But be better in every other area.

So even if the Bravo is a 26 turning the same rpms as the 25 pitch 3 blade props I should expect a loss? Thank you for your help.

If I am running a 24p Fury 3 blade and want to move to a Bravo 1 FS should I be looking at the same pitch?

Thanks

Do you think I will need to adjust the motor height?

Manual jackplate.....

On my 2013 Puma FTD I had to raise my jackplate when I went to the Bravo XS from a Fury 3.

Yes. When I switched from a Fury 3 23" pitch to a Bravo 1 FS 24P I was able to run engine higher. If you choose a Bravo try raising engine 1/4" at a time watching water pressure until you lose speed then drop back down 1/4". I think you will be happy with the better overall performance of the Bravo.

The Bravo1 runs about 1/2in to 3/4in higher because of the larger diameter and extra blade.
