    Fury 3 blade vs Fury 4 blade

    Want to pick up a Fury 4 blade for my boat currently running a 25P 3 blade Fury. Should I order a 24 or 24 pitch Fury 4 blade? With the 25 3 blade I am getting about 70 -71 MPH at 5600-5700 RPM (2013 200 ProXS on 2013 Pantera 4). Getting the Fury 4 for midspeed lift, handling and rough water bite. I know I will lose a couple MPH top end.

    We have a 2018 Pantera Classic (25P 3 blade fury w/ 200 ProXS). Jaco's told me that the Fury prop is designed to keep the same pitch when you go from 3 to 4, so that's what I did.

    My Results with the 4 blade - same pitch: slightly better hole shot & will hold plane at a lower speed. The handling wasn't bad to begin with, BUT - holding plane at a lower is indicative of a better rough water bite. That boat drives like a dream in rough water. I haven't driven it past 65mph, so I have no idea about top end loss.

    We swapped out to a 24P 4 blade per our dealer suggestion. We have dual console and two power poles on a cougar ftd. Were a couple bigger guys and definitely helped with hole shot and really helps in rough water. Great response in rough water talking 4' to 5' Erie waves.

    Buy the same pitch. I have a 2016 PII. Have a 24 pitch prop in a Fury 3 and 4. NoZero pretty much covered its handling characteristics compared to a 3 blade.
    Top speed with the 4 blade is 69.8 mph 5800 RPM's.
    Top speed wiith the 3 blade is 72.6 mph at 5800 RPM.s.
    I have a dual console with twin power pole blades added. I'm happy with those numbers and the handling on both props.

    No -drop a pitch. You’re adding a blade. I have a 26 & 25 3 blade. Can’t run the 26.

    The 25 is ok out of the hole. Great on top end.

    Put my 24 4 blade on today. Rocket ship out of the hole. Lost a little top end, still ran 72 with no issues.
