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

What is 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.
