    Fury 4 blade 25 pitch or bravo XS 26 pitch is what I have ran on mine. If you are running a load you can't beat either one of these props.

    I'm being told 26 Fury. I will have two 10' Power Poles and I will have a lot of junk in the boat.

    Low RPMs, slower holeshot. I'm not sure if u will get the top end with a 26. In theory it should be the same but that will have u and the bare min recommended rpm range. I'm currently just under 6k with my 24p. Would expect 5500 -56 rpms with a 25p Fury.

    Hey try it and let us know. Every Z21 I have seen was rigged with a 24p Fury.

    26 fury is to much for this boat an motor. I run heavy, 5 31 AMG batteries, Atlas 12" plate, 12' Talons, 35 Rods, tons of tackle, 4 12" Units etc... 24 Fury and 25 Tempest plus are the fastest I have run (71-73 at 5800-5900 RPMs). Bravo 26 or 25.5 was about 67 to 68 5900 RPMs, Fury 4 25 is 68 to 69 and carries the load the best of all I have run including the Bravo. I just switched from the Pro XS to the Verado so back to the drawling board I go.

    Depending on load, 71 plus or minus. Holeshot is good and handling is great. If you ran it light you will see 73-74. Basically the same as bravo just hair more on top end.

    25 pitch Tempest. I run 72 with 2 8 foot poles and hole shot is still good.

    I run a 25P Bravo1XS and I love it. Hits a wall about 71-72 but I can still run 68-69 full tourney load and live wells loaded. I also have a Bobs 10, 2ea. 8Ft poles. The Bobs allows you to change the set up when loaded heavy.
    Holeshot is quick and this prop gets to 60 very fast.
