    I have read a lot about the Bravo 1 if you are a 4 blade fanatic- like me, this may be your best option. Going to go with a Bravo 1 FS in 24.5 pitch. Consulted with the Merc Tech group to come to this decision. I am much more about handling and not much on top speed. The Bravo 1 was definitely recommended above the Fury 4. However, they felt the Bravo was the best overall performer.

    My boat, Z21, is due for delivery within a couple weeks. It is coming with 23 Fury 3 blade, but I am getting a Bravo 1 as well. Will have first hand experience soon I hope.

    I see 68-69 with 2 to 73 alone. It usually sits at 71+ for me.

    I know what it comes with as I’m in the process of ordering a new one. I also know there are other options besides a 12”
