Friend owns a 2016 Z21 with 250 Pro XS, he is running three blade currently. He is debating a 4-blade again, ran a Bravo I XS on his Z9 before. Anyone tried the Fury4 or the Bravo I XS on this boat yet? He is wanting better holeshot and best speed can get for 4-blade. Any information that I can relay would be awesome, thank you

I got a buddy who just ordered a bravo xs for his 2016 z21. Fury 3 blade has been good.

Yeah he said the holeshot is getting sluggish in the heat

I'm running a 25p Bravo1xs on mine and it is perfect IMHO. Ive tried Tempest 25P and Fury 25P. I'm running a Bobs 10" on mine, power poles, 112 MK and 3 Lowrances hits a wall at about 71. Handling is tremendous and in rough water the responsiveness of the Bravo in unbeatable. Rescently in a BFL had myself (215lbs) coangler (245lbs) both livewells full and about 5/8 tank of gas ran 67mph for miles. Go with the Bravo1xs you will not be disappointed.

I just tested out a fury, fury 4, tempest plus and "prop shop" brand, all in 25p, all stock. I have 10ft blades, atlas hydro plate, 4-31 size agm's, 2-10's, 2-12's helix units, full trny gear, 3/4 gas, empty wells and just me @ 185. I got the best performance from the fury 4. Best speed was 70.5@5800, all pvs holes open. Prop never blew out. Handling was much better, and so was was the hole shot. During first trny, with 2nd person I was getting 68 with live wells full in semi clean water. Water became rough, 2-3ft rollers, the prop and boat performed well. Prop never blew out running in the chop. When I figured out where to set the jack plate, the boat plowed right through the chop. The prop shop did not have a 24p fury, I would have like to try it cuz BMCD is seeing good performance out his, but at this point I am happy with the fury 4. It came with 26p tempest plus that blew out badly until I closed one hole solid, But could not get more 63-64@5600. Now its a spare.
Another team guy down here has a 16 and a 24p Fur, he's only getting 68.

Mine with a 24 pitch fury only ran 67-68 and with a A45 tempest that was worked runs 70-71 I really want to try a fury 4 out
That is an awesome comparison. Looks like the Fury4 or the Bravo I XS

BMCD,
Was your friend using the 25P also?
Had a 24p Fury, believe he tried A 25P Fury also. He is currently running a 26p Bravo I XS. I'll see if I can get him to respond to this post.

Same here, 2016 Z21 boat is equipped with a 24p Fury Prop, played with jack-plate height quiet a bit and 68-69mph is about all I can achieve. I have a 25p Tempest I kept off my Z8 and ill begin working that set-up.
Guys
I have a 2016 z21. 250xs
1/2 tank of gas, 2 8' poles empty wells and tournament load.
Croxston worked Fury 3 Blade - Hole shot is ok
70mph
Bravo 1xs all vent hole open
Hole shot breaks over at 5100 rpm and flys out of the hole
71.3 moh
Going to send the Bravo off to get worked by Matt Lahiti. He is saying I'll get more speed. At this point I'm just curios what it will do.
Was that Bravo a 25 or 26?
Thanks!
It was a 26.
