    Which merc prop less stearn lift?

    Have a verado 250 on a Blazer 625 and feeling like I'm getting too much Stern left and losing contact of the water at high speeds so wondering what prop you would recommend that has the least amount of stern lift.
    Trying to get my hands on a 27 Bravo to try but having a tough time finding one to demo as I have tried a fury 3 and 4 blade.
    Where are the BIG ones? When are we going?
    LOOKING for a Great deal on a Slightly used 20-21' Boat.

    The tempest doesn't have as much stern lift as a four blade does.

    A properly worked Tempest will give you some stern lift. That's why I run a Tempest. I think you're better off with the Fury 3-blade. They have more bow-lift.

    Any flared barrel adds to stern lift. Try a prop with a cut flare, or straight barrel. You can also try a small tube prop like a Trophy, but it might not work well with a Verado.

    Aren't bravos one of the most stern lifting props that there is?

    If the tempest is worked to factory spec it will be a bow lifter but you can work it to make it a stern lifter. Bravo's are stern lifters so are trophy's and Pro Max which both have straight tubes and they tend to pick the entire boat up out of the water not just the bow.
