    Bravo1 xs on a z9

    I'm trying to get the right pitch the first time. I've got a 2013 z9 with 250proxs. Loaded up with 2 power poles , 36v ultrex, 3 graphs and more tackle than I need what pitch should I look into from what I've read it sounds like a 26p?

    You must be reading a wishful thinking book if you think a 26 is right. 24 would be more where you need to be.

    I had a 27P Bravo XS on a Z8/250. You can run a 26P I would think. This setup is made to run high.

    I would further say that the life of that prop running high is about 2 years. The constant loading and unloading the blades will eventually cause you to throw a blade.

    I'm running the exact same setup as you and was wondering the same thing. I currently run a 25P Tempest Plus, with a partner I can only run 54mph at around 5000RPM with no bow lift. Hoping I can get more lift out of a Bravo.

    A 25 tempest on a 19 foot boat should get with it at least 5800 RPMs with load
