    Yamaha 250 SHO 4 blade prop recommendations

    I have a 2014 Yamaha 250 SHO on a Bumble Bee 200 Pro Sport. I'm currently running a Yamaha T-1 25P I'm getting 72.9 mph at 5900 RPMs with a quick hole shot. I'm considering a four blade as a back up prop for rough water. Anyone currently running a four blade on a 250 SHO or have any experience with this type set up? I would specifically like to know the prop and pitch. THANKS IN ADVANCE

    I’d consider a 25p Bravo1 FS or Mark Croxton Razor4 XL

    Bravo XS or FS 26 should put you 6050-6100. Will feel like a totally different boat better lift, acceleration, and handling would be my guess.

    I’m running a 24” Fury 4 on my z521 Ranger with the SHO. It turns 68-69 mph @6100 rpm has great hole shot and handling. Gives up a little top end over the 25 T-1. 520 Rangers run a 25” Fury 4. Undoubtedly the Bumblebee would carry the 25” or maybe even 26”. I don’t run full out that much anymore so the handling of the 24 suits me fine.
    I just installed lithium batteries last season and dropped about 200# from the back of the boat it have gained rpm but no better speeds. I’m thinking I need to move up to a 25” pitch or the Yamaha 25 T-2. Mark Croxton recommend the T-2 for my boat.
