Which has more bow lift, a fury 4 or a bravo fs/xs? I currently run a Bravo fs, but was wanting to try a fury 4. I haven't been able to try the fury 4 yet, just curious from those that have run both what the differences were on the water.

I would say a fury4, But an odd pitch bravo1 has taller tip cup than the even pitch's

That's good to know. Thank you. I'm currently a 26 Bravo fs on a new zxr 20. Do you think it'd be better to send it off to Mark and have it b&b'd and a little cup added or try a stock fury 4? I really like this prop, it handles extremely well, but I can only get it to spin about 5900 rpm no matter where I run my Atlas. I feel like its good, but could use a little more bow lift.

so I have a 2017 TRX 21 Patriot, 250 Optimax 2 stroke, and I run a HEAVY boat (tackle etc) that I am constantly trying to refine the balance on. I have a Fury 24 4blade, a Fury 25 3 blade, a Trophy 25p 4 blade, a Tempest 25p 3 blade and a Mark Croxton B&B'd 26p Tempest 3blade. The most lift in descending order: 26p Tempest plus 3 blade (bad hole shot summer) amazing lift (extra cup and rake), 25p Tempest plus 3blade stock (great hole shot as well), Trophy plus 25p 4blade great hole shot, Fury 24p 4 blade has great hole shot, ok lift, and Fury 4 25p 3 blade has good hole shot, better lift. BTW, this is NOT what I would have expected, just what it is for me.

The fury4 normally is a little faster on top, But the Bravo1 wins the holeshot handling and load carrying normally if vented properly.

I kinda had the same thing with my last boat as well. The props I thought should do one thing ended up not being what they should’ve done. That’s why it’s hard to trust what others say, not because they’re wrong but it’s just different on every boat. But it’s expensive buying them just to try.

The Trophy plus is a great prop once up and on pad. It has great lift too but has always struggled in the hole shot for me.

Bravo 1 LT provides best lift of all of them, raises the whole boat up very well. LT means long tube, and it acts sort of like another trim tab.

bow lift just need to add cup to trailing edge of prop. Ive had best luck with Tempest Plus with edge cup added. 3 blade, but lifts like crazy, and faster than a 4.

Top and and holeshot Evinrude RX24P out ran the Bravo 1 LT 25P on ZXR21 by about 1mph with 100 less rpms. Had better all around lift especially in the bow along with the complete ease of WOT cornering and rough water runability. I will say it is a different feeling with that Bravo 1 LT on a Skeeter having the rear lift more but was cool.
Squire what is your PVS and exhaust ring setup when running the trophy on that boat?
