Z21 250 Pro xs prop for heavy load

[elisha552000]

I have a 16 Z21 250 Pro xs. I'm not asking for the fastest prop for the boat. I know it's the 24p fury 3. I can run 72 by myself tournament load. When I add a co angler and all his gear with both live wells full the speed and hole shot suffer. It looses bow lift and we drop to about 67. I want to know what guys have found is the best prop that carries a heavy load on this hull. I'm thinking a 26 bravo xs, 24 fury 4, or a 25 tempest. Thanks

25 fury 4 or 25 tempest plus the fury 4 will push a heavy load.

Heard the bravo performs well with a load.

I run a 25 Bravo1XS and it runs the same with 1 person or 4 in the boat. Have dual consoles with Ultrex and 2 8’ poles. I wish it had hydraulic jack plate because prop to pad height makes more difference in speed than the weight does.

What does it run for speeds with the 25 bravo and how is your hole shot

I switched to a 26P Bravo 1XS after I added 12' Talons and it took the 24P Fury 3 twelve minutes to get on plane. It made a world of difference. Gets up quick with full load and co-angler and drives smoother than the Fury 3 I was running. It is not a speed demon with that load (40 gal fuel & 500# of men), only seeing 67-68 but the Z21 isn't breaking speed records anyway.

My Z21 came with a Fury 24. Good prop and speeds of 75 with 1/2 tank of gas and two people. But steering is hard. Went with Bravo 1 XS 26 and got basically same speeds but very easy steering. It just goes straight at max speed.

Had a few different boats with fury props never been happy with them unless I ran a very light load. I’m on the verge of getting rid of my 24p fury4

[elisha552000]

So it's sounding like my best option is going to be a 25 or 26 bravo xs. Anyone else running these with some more input. Also what are you guys running for plugs in these. Thanks

26 bravo on a z21 I’m coming up short on rpms. I’ve had the prop for a while and needs to be cleaned up some when that happens I’ll look into modding for more rpms. I would think a 25 would be perfect

I use 2 full plugs and the rest open
