    Worked Tempest or Fury?

    Which stock prop in general would be faster on top end if it were balanced and blueprinted by Croxton?

    Too many variables. One might think that the fury would be faster, it is the newer design made for the bigger heavier boats of today.

    I know it is a different hull but I've had 3 Mercs on it. Every one, the Tempest had to be 1" larger for same results. ie: 225 Opti ran best with worked 26 Tempest and REALLY close with used 25 Fury bought on BBC. 250 ProXS I had all kinds of props but 26 Fury ran within 50 RPM's and same speed as a 27 Tempest. My current motor runs best with a 27 Fury (45 props later since Nov 2013). Still haven't found a better prop all around. Great holeshot and 88MPH one time max but 85 anytime, temperature or load. Thursday with 84 degree temps and 94% humidity I did 86.2 Tourney load by myself.

    You might scroll through the nitro boards but I believe the tempests are a little better on those hulls

    I have tried furys on my last triton and my ranger i have now. For me a worked tempest from Mark has always been the best all around. Especially with a load and livewells full.
