Correct Prop For My Bullet

[mercpromax]

I Have A 20 XRD With Mercury 225X Motor With Two 12' Talons, I'm Turning A 25 Pitch Bravo At 75MPH Turning About 6800 RPM, There's More There,I'm Thinking Maybe Going To A 26 Or 27 Pitch, What Do Ya'll Think ?

26 Pro Max

[mercpromax]

I Guess I Would Like To Try One First, I've Already Have A 25 Trophy, 25 TXP, 26 TXP. All Of These Props Ran Good, Just The Bravo Is The Only One To Get Me On Plane With 2 Guys 225ea,3 Batteries,32 Gallons Of Fuel And Live well Full Of Water.

That's a lot of weight.
May have to have one guy sit up front until it breaks over. you will sacrifice top end for a better hole shot.

[mercpromax]

That's Why I'm Thinking 26 Or 27 Bravo, The Hole Shot Is Good, Just My RPM's Are Maxed Out.

[Bullet 250]

is it better or worse with the Talons up or laid down when you take off?

[mercpromax]

Alot Easier With Them Laying Down, The Bravo Will Takeoff Either Way, I Wasn't Sure If It Would Be Easier To Find A Bravo Than A Promax And Maybe A Little Cheaper Too, I Really Don't Want To Stock Pile
Props !

A Bravo will have a better holeshot that just about anything else with that kind of load. I have been running a Ron Hill Signature Eagle 4 on my boat (20XRD) lately and the hole shot is very good, maybe better than my Bravo, but I haven't tried it with 2 people and a full livewell yet.

They make great props, I have several and they run good too

A rule of thumb is 300rpm per pitch I would think bravo 28p then have it turned to 27.5 or hydro 27p bravos only are made in even pitch examples would be a 27.5 bravo XS is a 26p with + extra cup this is why I think u would like a bravo 28 then have mark take a 1/2 or full pitch out. Just my .02 good luck and have fun.

I would listen to this guy ^^^ I had the same set-up, 225X on a 20XD. I ran a 26 Trophy @86 mph and then of course one day slung a blade, bought the new 26 ProMax which was a much more durable prop but was not as fast as the Trophy ...83mph, traded the 26 Promax for a 27 Promax and got a little more speed back. I was also told to go with a Bravo but sold the boat before I could try it.

What he said. Best all around fishing prop I have ever had.

Another vote for what Nick said. The Bravo is a tough prop, with good hole shot especially with a load. Bravos are stamped approximately 1” of pitch over actual pitch. So a Bravo marked 28p actually runs like a 27p (and some even like a 27.5p).

My old 20ftr loved a 28 hydromotive with a 225proxs.

Talk with your prop guy about putting some cup in the prop you have.
Can take rpm out and add mph to your set up.
