    Tournament prop

    I have a 20xd with 225 Promax 15" setback. What would be a good prop for fishing loaded? I'm currently running a 26 trophy and it's a pig out of the hole. It runs ok before you fill the livewell. Any suggestion would be great. Thank you ,Billy

    I run a 27 Bravo 1xs. No holes plugged, 3/4" above. It's a rocket out of the hole, handles great, and will touch 80 with 2 people. Great fishing prop.

    Personally i run a Pro ET. Holeshots slightly slower then a bravo but will do everything else better. On my rig a pro ET is 6mph faster then a Bravo. Here are a couple of vids with a Pro ET. I rip every boat i go against out of the hole.

    A trophy and TXP are both faster on top than my bravo, but overall the Bravo is better. 3-4 mph slower WOT, but very little slip on take off and pulls hard to the limiter.

    Another vote for the bravo 1 here! Just gotta poke quite a few holes in it!

    Thanks for the replies. I had a tournament this weekend and I think it might be motor related. It didn't used to be this bad out of the hole. No power at all on bottom end and all a sudden it clears up brakes over and hauls but. Fellas like something is holding it back. But thanks for all the info. Billy

    You may need to remove some more pvs plugs now that it's getting hotter.

    I removed all the plugs before this weekend and still very sluggish bottom end . That was with livewell empty.

    I ran a promax as a replacement for my bravo & razor.

    It's not the fastest top end or out of the hole, but it was my best all round tourny prop in a big variety of water, tourny loads and humidity.

    I'm not sure why the promax was not a hit for more bullet guys.
