    Prop for Stratos & Etec 250 HO

    What performance would I receive from a Renegade 4 blade prop on my boat & motor.

    My motor has the Magnum gearcase.

    The Dia is too small on a Renagade. Get you a Trophy or the Current Evinrude prop.

    What are you looking for out of a prop?
    I run two props depending upon the conditions. I have a 3 blade Razor for speed and long runs. Then I have a 4 blade Bravo1 for a quick holeshot and for bow control in big water.

    Don't mean to hijack, but Whitaker201, how does your Razor perform on your boat, and what pitch is it? Looking for a new prop. I have the same boat as you, only difference is mine is a 225 HO and not the 250 HO. Currently running a 26 Raker II and I'm leaving about 2-300 rpms on the board and getting 67 to 69 on a great run! Doing my research and on the hunt, but trying to make an informed decision, because as you know, props are not cheap!!!

    I want a better hole shot & eliminate the boat bouncing some when running at a lower speed. Upon lift from hole shot the boat runs fine.
    I have a Stratos 201 & Etec 250 HO with magnum gearcase.

    I heard the Bravo 1 was a good prop. what pitch do you run ? Is the Bravo 1 a 4 blade prop ?

    Jpadge - I run a 28p Razor3 with my 250HO with a magnum gear case. I run a fairly light load most of the time since I am a shallow water river rat and still have a 24v TM. I run 3 group31 batteries. I get around 5900-6000rpm and 75-79 mph depending upon conditions.

    bwhitley - Yes it is a 4 blade prop. The Bravo1 might be one to look into. I run a 28p Bravo1 with my 250HO and a magnum gear case. I did have Mark Croxton put 8pvs holes in the prop to be able to dial in the holeshot. If I remember correct I am at 5900-6100rpm and 72-73mph with this one. The Bravo1 is not as sensitive to conditions or load. You might also check out the 4 blade Mark makes. I have not had a chance to try one yet but I hear it is similar to the Bravo1.

    Click on the above link and scroll through to find information about different props. If you select the "learn more" tab it will give more specific details about what a particular prop is best for...FYI there is multiple Bravo I prop styles. They have different letters following Bravo I such as FS,LT,XS,DC
