    Bravo XF Ranger Z520L 250XS 4S

    anyone have experience with this prop on a Z520L. I currently have a Fury 3-23”. Looking for a second prop for a spare, better hole shot and overall performance, not a speed freak.

    If I were looking for a second prop I would lean toward a 24 pitch Tempest Plus. The Bravo was designed for lighter boats as the blades are thinner and tend to break on a heavier boat. The Bravo is a great prop I tried a 26 pitch on a Ranger I had that was running a 25 pitch Tempest Plus. The hole shot and top speed was as good or better. I was just concerned I would lose a blade if I went with the Bravo.

    bravos were designed for heavier boat they r 15 1/8 in diameter thats y they lift so well also people running allisons and bullets. like them because they offer great boat control and the blades are not thinner and will not break no-more than a tempest will and they will run higher than a tempest and carry a load better

    Im running a 24 Fury 4 on mine and its a lot better than the 23 Fury. I gave up 1mph but overall the Fury 4 is way better than a Stock Fury 23. I did run a 23 Tempest on mine once and overall performance was good but the 23 was to small. Gonna be hard to beat the 4 blade on these rigs.
