Best prop for a 21x holeshot??

[nowakezone]

I have a 04, 21x, mercury 250efi,8" hydraulic plate. I run a 27 tempest,in the winter I bump the Rev limiter,holeshot is descent tourny loaded.in the summer holeshot is terrible, (and yes I have changed out the vent plugs,and nothing helps much),and I drop to about 55-5600rpm.
I'm wantin to buy a summer time prop,with good holeshot and top end, has anybody ran a trophy,fury,or bravo 1 xs, 4 blade with a 21x.
I'd appreciate any advice or experience u have,and maybe post some numbers of what you're running.
I know I can buy a 26 tempest, just really want to hear about the 4 blades.

I bought the new Fury 4 blade 24P for my 2004 TR 20X last year with a Mercury Opti 225. I love my holeshot, but lost a mile or two on top end. If you are looking for hole shot, it certainly works fantastic. IMO...

Have you had your prop B&B. It could be out of specs?

YES IT IS B&B
BOAT HAS ALWAYS HAD SLOW HOLESHOT,BUT I JUST WENT FROM 24 TO 36 VOLT TM,THAT EXTRA 31 GROUP. BATTERY, MADE IT EVEN SLOWER

For holeshot, nothing beats my Bravo 1 XS 27, literally up and gone in scary fast times. So far, for performance though, my 26 and 27 Tempest + props are my best prop for overall speed and on average, 1.5 mph faster than the Bravo.

I run the Bravo on big water where bite and handling are my priority. For speed, I still fall back on my 26 and 27 Tempest plus, both B&B'ed by Mark. Speeds of course depend on weather conditions and load but this past weekend, two big guys, full tank of fuel and tournament load, 76.1 peak, 75.7 mph most of the time on long run. I've lost about 2 mph with my toys BUT they more than make up for it in comfort and fishability. :)

My rig is an '04 TR21X with '12 250 Pro XS w/TM that I purchased new. Two 10' Talons, 36V Ultrex so 4 batteries, HB 360 and 3 10" screens. All add weight and drag.

Although the Bravo is brand new, still going to send it in for a B&B, may gain that 1.5 back, never know.

Agree.....My Bravo1 is a rocket out of the hole and is also good on the Great Lakes.

Haven't ran it yet this year to give an exact number but pretty sure it is 5750 to 5800 range. I know it is close to my goal of 5800/5850 which Don and Savage tell me are great numbers for my Pro Xs powerband.
