Fury 4 or Bravo Prop On 518c

[jimsch]

I appreciate all of the input from everyone. I get 69.5 mph with my 25 Tempest so I might be better off sticking with what I have.

I've reached 72 with my 518c, 200 PXS and Temp plus 24. How much do you carry with you?

Full load. Plastics in the rear and ptp is 3.5 below.

I went to 2-3/4 ptp and it made a difference. I also carry most in the back 2 compartments and running 4 batteries.

With what prop? What kind of difference?

I love the way the 24 Fury 4 makes the boat feel like it has "4 wheel drive". Great hole shot, can keep on plane at 20-22 mph, strong mid range, and great bow lift. After running a 24 Fury 3 and a 25 Bravo 1XS, I liked the Fury 4 so much I bought an extra for a spare. You need to try one, top speed doesn't mean anything to me, but depending on load I've run 70-73. Overall boat response is awesome! Also I have a 10" Atlas, but it runs best at 2 - 2 1/2" PTP.

Keeping it on plane at lower speeds is the one thing that interests me on a 4 blade. My 24 Tempest Plus falls off plane around 25 if I'm lucky. But that isn't enough of a reason to spend that kind of coin. If I was to buy another prop, I would look at a 25 to get a little more top end.

I ran a fury 4 when I had a 518c. Loved it. Holeshot and midrange were crazy, 1 mph slower than a tempest up top, and helped take some of the jar out when the water got rough.

Sent you a pm. Would really like to hear more.
