    Bravo 1 FS pitch advice.

    Looking for suggestions on ordering the right pitch. Motor is a Mercury 200 pro XS 4 stroke. Currently turning 5700 rpm at 69 mph on a 23 pitch Fury last week in upper 80’s water temp. Looking for quicker holeshot and better lower speed cruising or staying on plane at a lower speed. I rarely run WOT. Do a lot of short runs from spot to spot. Doesn’t bother me to lose some top end speed. I’m not sure if I need a 24 or 23 pitch in the Bravo 1. Thanks in advance. Boat is Falcon 195.

    It’s a 2020 model so 6200? 5700 is best I’ve seen recently. That was by VesselView mobile and gps on speed

    I'd try and find a regular 22P Bravo1 to test.... Not an FS or XS.
