Fury props

[1FastGambler]

Have been running the new Fury for about 2 wks now...

Holeshot is awesome, midrange & top end is as good as my Tempest and about 1-2 mph faster than my Trophy.

The thing I like the best about the Fury is the handling...WOW! This prop will not let go, no matter how hard I tried to get it to blow out, it held fast.

Remember when B.A.S.S. had the bass boat races? I wish I could have had this prop on a Gambler and competed against those guys!

What pitch Fury are you running ??? I would hope a 26 pitch.. How many RPMs are you turning ??? And how fast are you running ???

[yellow gambler]

Will it plane off without the trimtabs????

Im running a stock 3 blade Tempest Plus 25P now. Would I want to stay with the 25P or could I maybe get away with a 26P Fury? Just curious what you guys think. I dont wanna buy the wrong size prop and deal with the swapping out headache.

Top speed was 82.7
Currently running comfortably at 5800 RPM's at 78MPH, but could use a faster holeshot (5-6 secs. now)
- 2000 Intimidator DC Pro Model.
- Merc 225 EFI 3.0L w/ Brucato SVS
- 10" Detweiler Hydraulic ( 2" below pad )
- NO nose cone
- Brians Cav. Foil Plate
- NO trim tabs.

Sean,I know your up there in elevation but what were the number comparisons ?

[1FastGambler]

25 Fury – 5950 rpm 72 - 74.49 mph – best speed @ just over 3 on JP gauge
25 Tempest 6000 rpm 70.5 – 72 mph – best speed @ 4.5 on JP gauge
25 Trophy 5850 rpm 70 - 71 mph – best speed @ 3.5 on JP gauge
This was this past weekend at Navajo Lake which is currently at 6064 ft above sea level

Yes it will plane without trim tabs, but it's a rocket with them.

Looks like thats your new prop I wish they made a 28 version for us that are a little closer to sea level.

[carolina killer]

I know what you mean I am afraid that a 26 pitch wouldn't be enough for me.. I can turn a 28 Trophy almost 6 grand with my new 250 Pro XS so I am afraid that a 26 Fury would put me hard on the limiter...
I wish there were some way to try one without buying one..

[cowtrimmer]

Terry,are there any big merc dealers around you that are the try before you buy prop guys ?

[ldbass55]

i would sit tight...i hear the bigger pitches will be out soon....

I heard they actually run 1 pitch below normal...example...a 24P Fury is equal to a 25P Tempest etc... Is this true?

[1outlaw]

Just like all props. They are going to run different from boat brand to boat brand!!!...Some props are tighter then others

[ldbass55]

i was told at the classic that the fury because of the thinner blades, will turn 1 to 2 hundred more rpm than most other standard props in the same pitch...

[1outlaw]

I hope they make a 28-29 then....Thats what it will take to keep me off the limiter!!!!

[carolina killer]

Look at the post 1FastGambler put up a few post up there was only 50 RPMS different between a 25 Tempest and a 25 Fury the Fury being 50 RPMS less..
They look to run close to the same rpms as other merc props in the same pitch..

[ldbass55]

except the fury was ran at the lowest engine height .....
LD

[carolina killer]

Your right so if you were to raise the Fury to the Tempest height you would probably be a 100 rpms more than the Tempest..
The Trophy and the Fury are run fairly close to the same height and the Fury still turned 100 more rpms..
So it sounds like it will turn more rpms than a same pitch Merc prop..
I need a 29 Fury maybe a 30 from those #s.. I don't know if I will see one in my life time..

[1FastGambler]

LD & Terry,
All jackplate settings I shared in my personal test results were the fastest for each prop on that day.

The fury started to to slip sooner (lower height) than the tempest.

take it for what it's worth... (prop test results posted to the web by some guy in the badlands of New Mexico on a lake that is over 6000 ft above sea level with a tournament load)

I would also like to share with BBC that this prop pushes the boat onto the trailer better than any prop I have ever ran... the first time I loaded the boat I thought I was going to park it in the back of the truck!

Small diameter 3 blades will do that...

[ldbass55]

im with you killer...we would need at least a 29...bet the biggest we will see will be a 28....
