    Bravo 1 XS - If you have a Merc PRO XS (2S) they just don’t like to load on the trailer with it. I loved the way the Bravo XS runs but the way it loads is terriable.

    If you talk with Mark Croxton he will tell that he's done test on props to see exactly how long they will last. He used to work for a prop manufacturer. He said if you get 40hrs wot out of a bravo you did good. I didnt know the fury was bad about throwing blades though

    I don't think it was that widespread an issue but there were enough thrown blades that Merc addressed it with fury props built after 2017. When you pick up a fury or bravo, in terms of weight it feels like there is a lot less steel than a comparable T1 etc.

    I'd bet a t-1/2 weighs 10 lbs more than a fury.

    I have a 21phx and a 250 Verado. I've run a 24p Fury 4, a 25p Bravo1, and a 26p Bravo1. I like the 24p Fury 4 the best for overall performance and handling, max speed 70. I run super heavy and usually have three people in the boat, although it's two high school kids and they weigh less then I do combined, lol. I like the Fury 4 in rough water for cutting through the waves and handling. I was up on Mille Lacs a few weeks ago and it did awesome. The 25p Bravo1 was to small in my opinion and I only ran it once. I went to the 26p Bravo1 and it was the correct size for the boat, in my opinion. It's the fastest prop out of the three (72 mph), however, i just didn't like the way it handled, to lose in the back end and didn't hit the waves the same as the fury 4. I have 360, ultrex, and two solix 12's up front so I'm about as heavy as you can be. Hope this helps.
