currently running a 25 fury 4 , merc 250 pro xs , 8 inch atlas , 2 8 ft blades. holeshot good with 2 people, 69 mph wot @ 5700 rpms. fished 3 people this week , livewell full. holeshot terrible. lake too rough to get wot # s anyone running a 24 fury 4 on 520 with merc 250 pro xs? what kinda numbers yall seeing???
I don't have the 520, but I am running 24 4 on my Z521. Lose a little on top end, but holeshot is great even in high humidity season....
I'm in the midwest with a 2017 z520C, Pro XS 250, 8" atlas and no power poles.
I'm running a Fury 4 24p with all holes completely open (this is important).
With full gear, full livewells and 2 guys the holeshot is amazing, all around handling is amazing, and top speed is 70mph on a glass surface. I don't know what my RPM's are.
I'm switching to a Fury 4 25p for a little more mph.
thinking about trying a 24 fury 4. see if i can get to 6000 rpms. and what the # s will be
I have the same setup and added Chris Bailey Foil and it helped a bunch.
I’m still thinking and having Claxton rebuild my 25 fury into a 24 for better
holeshot
thought bout the chris bailey foil.. i just cant get the courage up to drill into the cavitation plate on a motor with 20 hrs. gonna exhaust all prop options before i do that

Me either. Mr non C 520 is awesome with a 26P Bravo FS with a great holeshot and a top end of 74.1. I'd hate to drill the cav. plate for a foil. My opinion only....

ive never seen 71 with my rig!! right at 70 is tops
Foil w/ your set up is the answer. I have your set up w/ 4, group 31 wet cells. 25P Fury 4. 71 w/ me alone, 68-69 w/ 2 clients and tooooooo much gear!
thanks for the help guys.
should i try a 24 fury 4? or a 26 bravo xs? dilemmas dilemmas
update... bought a 24 fury 4, ran today numbers are 24 fury 4- 12 on atlas gauge, holeshot better than 25 fury 4 wot 71 mph @ 5900 rpms.. 25 fury 4 - 12 on alas gauge..holeshot decent69.6 mph at 5720 rpms wot... gonna have to wait to check with wells full and partner
A 24 pitch whatever is not doing do anything on the performance, yes you turn more rpm's but not mph's at least run a 25 fury but you can turn a 26 fury just pop all plugs out if you want max performance your just going to have to adjust that manual plate just sticking a prop on there is not going to work when they hang those motors at the factory that's just what they do hang a motor so it's up to you to get the max performance and yes it is to be had on a Ranger just takes setup time........
I have the 15 version of your boat and my numbers are identical to yours. Went from 25 Fury 3 to a 24 Fury 4, great holeshot and 71 mph with two of us and all our stuff. 24 here to stay for me.
24 staying on mine also. never put a plug in a fury prop. 3 or 4 blade. im just saying the 24 fury is better on my boat than the 25 fury3 or 4. 24 has better holeshot and wot speed. atlas gauge at 12 for 24 and 25. 24 outperforms the 25 on my boat
