    Which bravo compares ?

    21x2 2008 triton 250 opti hydro jackplate and 2 degree trim wedges.
    Tempest plus 26 5400 63 mph
    tempest plus 25 5660rpm 64mph
    tempest plus 24 5800rpm 66 mph
    tempest plus 23 6010rpm 69-70mph little sensitive to hot weather. More so to weight not as much as fury 23
    fury 23 5890rpm 70mph sensitive to hot weather and weight
    fury 24 5700rpm 67mph
    fury25 5500 65 mph
    trophy plus 25 5600rpm 67.7mph
    trophy plus 24 5780rpm 64.9
    trophy (not a plus)23 6190 rpm 66.mph.



    which direction should I go. And which bravo should I try. Model and pitch. I’ve only ever seen one bravo in my life so don’t know much about them.

    I would try a 23P FS/XS because I bet your boat likes the extra cup and bow lift.

    No... The fury is a stiffer... What top end rpms are you wanting achieve?

    I still think the 23P would be best... See if you can find one to test before you buy.

    Of course. Props are expensive. Bravos seem to be around but in really big pitches

    I do not know how Tritons compare to BassCats, but there's some good experience type posts on the Basscat board. Same engine as yours on an Eyra:
    I’ve been running a 26p and 27p Bravo 1 XS for at least three years on my 17 Eyra, Mercury 2 stroke. I normally run the 26p in the summer but haven’t switched since I installed lithium’s for my trolling motor about a year ago.
    On a Cougar:
    Generally bravo’s run about 1 1/2 to 2 sizes smaller than a Fury. So a 27 bravo should work. Trophy runs pretty close to fury,25 should work.
    Lynx:
    I was able to pick up a 26p Bravo XS for my Lynx (250ProXS 4s). 4 holes plugged and was able to hit 73.5, but my rpms were only at 5815. I don't remember exactly where I had my jackplate, but it was between 1-3. I was running a 24p Fury 3 before. Holeshot on the Bravo was maybe a touch better.
    Puma:
    I ran a 26 Bravo1 XS on my 2013 Puma FTD / 250 ProXS and was on the limiter at 2000 feet elevation. The 23/24 Bravo is going to be all over the limiter.
    I would go to the Triton board and search "Bravo". I am betting you'll find people with similar set ups that have run one.

    I will have a 24P original for sale after this weekend.

    25XS will be perfect. It will spin almost even to the 23 fury you ran but better all around on that boat.

    I’m saying if you want to to bump 70 at 6000rpm get the 25XS. With the 23XS you’ll be on the limiter at 65-67 mph. With some set up time you’ll likely be on limiter in cool weather and still retain holeshot and 5850+ rpms loaded in hot weather. It would probably be perfect for your rig. I have a 2007 21x2 and if I didn’t love the 24 fury4 so much I would run a 25XS.

    Thanks man help full thoughts.

    tried a 23 trophy today it’s rpms we’re to high. Like 6180 and 66 mph just wasn’t doing it. Will try a 24 trophy when I can but of course so much more interest in a bravo
