    Stratos prop help please

    I have a 2005 Stratos 201 Pro XL with a stock Yamaha 300 hpdi , 8" hydraulic jp, turning a 27-T1, good hole shot and maxed out at 77.9. Last week I added two 12' Talons and brackets and now my holes shot takes about 30+ seconds . Talons are up as high as they will go. I'm assuming a new prop is needed, 4 blade or drop down in pitch 3 blade ? What will work ? Thanks for your help.

    I dropped to a 25 T-1 in similar situation. Added a Talon to my 201 with a 250hpdi and it killed my holeshot with the 27, so I dropped and it improved. With a 300 you might be able to add some venting?

    I have dual talons and running a 26p fury4 and holeshot is just as fast with or without talons. Summertime may be a different deal though. Thinking about a 25 Fury for summer.

    Anyone have an opinion on the Bravo 1 for my setup ? So if I was to change to Fury 4 or to a Bravo 1 would I stay at the same pitch as I am now with the T1 ? My rpm's are good now.

    I think I would look hard at the 26P Bravo1XS... Matbe a 27P depending on your top end rpms with the 27T1
