    206 owners what prop/s do you like?

    I picked up a 206 with a 250 pro xs. It came with a 26 tempest but curious what the other owners are running? anyone run a fury or bravo?

    I run the same motor on mine with a 25p Trophy. I'm pretty pleased with it, but haven't had any other props on it to compare it to. It jumps up on plane pretty quick and carries it well to 71 @ about 5800-5900.

    My only concern with it and I don't know if it's a big deal or not and that it doesn't have a lot of lift - it rides fairly flat. I get a lot of spray from about the console on back.

    I moved from a Tempest Plus 25 to a Fury 4 24p and now it runs like a bass boat of this caliper should. Top end not great, but I don't care now as it really handles like a sports car now.

    Thanks for all the input. I will run the 26 tempest first. I also have a 25 tempest I can try as well.

    My Tempest 25 runs great in all weather from hole-shot to top-end. I haven't had the weather to test the new Bravo 1 XS 26 like it needs to be tested. I've run a couple other Bravos a few months ago. I want to run a Fury four blade 24 or 25. I've had this Bravo to 71, but not ideal conditions or at the limiter. I've had the Tempest a little over 74. I honestly like the way the Tempest feels better. Maybe the Fury is the best of both worlds. Each hull and motor/set-back combo is going to be different. Set it up like you're going to use it. That's what I do.

    Trophy 4 blade with 250xs hole shot is instant and lifts nicely.

    You are wasting energy with spray coming from consoles area. I suggest you try a WORKED 26P Tempest Plus. It should provide better lift.

    I'd thought about doing just that, but I'm really liking the boat the way it is, so it hasn't been a high priority right now!
