    Bravo to ???

    Ok, I’ll try to keep the stupidly down. If a person is turning a bravo xs 24 to 6k rpms, what 3 blade would be the most similar to it. Way too much money involved to starting throwing around, without a clue. (V6 225 fourstroke on a bass boat.)

    With the V6 engine the OP has max rpm is 6k, 23 Tempest might be a better option, assuming it’s a newer Merc non ProXS

    It’s my buddies rig, but I’m sending my 23 tempest off to have it blueprinted & balanced and let him see how it goes. I also have a 24 tempest that he can try.
