Bravo compared to a Fury 4

[howard47]

Last night I broke half an ear off a 24” Fury 4 I bought here a few years back. It worked a lot better than the 24” 3 blade that came on the boat. I’ve heard Phoenix like the Bravo props but I know nothing about them at all. How do they compare to a Fury 4 and which version should I be looking for?
Thanks

Tried many different props on my ranger. Tempest ran well but I had a lot of steering torque at wo. Fury 3 blade ran a little stiff and not as much bow lift. Rev 4 has good lift on bow and stern. Runs stiff and I added more vent holes. Dropped 2” of pitch on the rev 4.close second after working with it. My favorite is the bravo 1fs. 1 or 2 mph slower but a much better bow lift even at slower speeds. Best all around. Good hole shot

Not the same set up you're running but have run them back to back on my zxr20.

Bravo tends to run a pitch lighter. So I ran a 25 fury 4 and a 26 bravo fs. On my boat, the bravo seemed to slip a bit more on take off. Not blow out per say but was freer coming out of the hole. The fury 4 definitely has more grip.

Cornering, again the bravo felt a lot freer, not trying to blow out at all but yo can hear and feel it slip a little. The fury 4 had like zero slip. felt like a sports car.

Flat out running, the bravo has more stern lift with but still good bow lift. The fury 4 has more bow lift and not as much stern lift.
Bravo on my boat was 2 mph faster all running about the same rpm within 1-200 of each other.

Fury cannot be ran too high. The bravo can 23 or 24 bravo fs or xs if you need lots of venting which I doubt . Or razor xlr from mark worth a try

The Bravos aren't known for throwing blades like the Fury 4, if you were getting good RPMs out of the Fury 4 24p then you can run a 25p Bravo.

A Bravo XS or FS is one of my favorite props. I'd try a 25"

more like a 23 or 24 225 4 stroke will not turn a 25 likely as the smaller TB holds it back a lot! i have a 24 razor xlr and the 25 is more than needed likely

Bravo 25" is equal to a 24" fury 4. Bravo's run about a pitch lighter than they are stamped. He said he did 71 mph, so 1.75 lower unit would put him around 6000 rpms. I had a heavier 20' flats fishing boat, 300r torquemaster, 2 10' blades, trolling motor etc. I was a tad underpropped with the 25" but at 6460 RPMS (rev limiter) I was doing 76 mph. His rev limiter is lower. You can run them until you run a torquemaster out of water pressure and they still stay hooked up at WOT.
