    Bravo on a 206?

    Hello all anyone running a bravo on a 206? If so what kind of numbers are you seeing and what bravo are you running. I know the general rule that the champs don't like a 4 blade, but with my temp plus seems like I have wfo to make it happy, just wondering a 4 blade would give a little better mid range? Boat is a 2001 206 with an 01 0X66 225, 25 tempest plus, 62 mph @ 5800 thanks all

    Find an older Bravo 1 25 with the the longer barrel or pony up for the new Bravo XS LT in a 25 pitch. It will give you the lift you need at lower speeds.

    I just called Jacos about a 24 bravo xs LT, back ordered until July 11. I think I might have to buy one and try it, if it's what I need then I'll have a Bravo xs 25 for sale.

    Whats this general rule stuff about 4 blades? I've been using a 24 Trophy plus 4 blade for years on my 2003 206 with 250xs. Its a good prop and I sent it to Mark and had it blueprinted years ago still runs real good. It has a very fast lifting on my rig.

    Trophy runs and handles great on my boat (not a 206 though) but it's several mph slower, mine has not been worked. Bravo, Trophy & Fury each handle a little bit differently. Fury4 is the fastest, but has odd handling characteristics.

    OX 66 runs good with that prop. If you get bravo you will not see much performance I had a bravo and went to a tempest
