Update today used fury 26P 3 blade prop numbers. On old 201 Stratos

[cw95bronc]

3 of us 750 lbs. 30 gal gas. 56gps up stream at 5300 rpm wide open. wp 18 psi.

By myself 13 gal gas, 18 psi, 5550, 66 gps 2 way avg. 64 was my fastest with old motor.

On Wheeler from ditto to gville dam. 32k cfm generating, 4 flood gates open.

This was the shocking part. 18 gal used on a 40 mile run. With this heavy load. with some wot runs.

That same run with the old xp200 would have been 22 gallons easily with just 2 people.

I would say pretty good numbers. Little low on rpms 200 ish. But the prop just does not bow lift loaded or not.

All holes open , Hole shot not the greatest but wasn't too bad if got moving to 5 mph then drop the hammer.

Speed and RPM are both low, that hull needs more lift, a Tempest would be a better choice.

[cw95bronc]

This prop came with motor. No gps on 1st run. This was second run heavy load with gps. I filled out a work order to get prop suggestion thru Razor.

Speed is fine for me by myself. I normally only have only 1 passenger. This was not my normal load today. This was on the extreme end.

[JBaker1984]

To much prop for that setup. I agree tempest your setup or around a 23p fury if you just want a fury

[NewRangerMan]

Like I’ve said before you need to find a used trophy for that boat if you’re gonna run three people very consistently I might look at a 24 trophy otherwise a 25 the pre-pro XL Stratos hull needs all the bow lift you can find. A tempest would also work well.
a fury will never lift that hull

[cw95bronc]

I'm not getting snippy, this was a full test result that finally go to do with fury.

I realize the fury 26p is too much not going to buy another fury. I did not have gps and not the fullest load I would ever carry 1st time out it was a shakedown of new to me motor install after a bunch of 10$ parts needed to replace. These motors are not nickle and dime as days of yesteryears I am use to.

This was the 2nd time out and having the heaviest load would ever carry , not very often, and gps.

While not great but not as bad as I was thinking, but I would no way run this everyday.

Now onto the tempest plus. While there is exceptions some say it blows out bad or won't get on plane. Most agree needs B&B new 750$ 200+$ extra work right out of the box. Used maybe 350 to 450 ish guess what 1st thing got to send it off needs work. Then it's still guessing if it's right.

I am going to try Croxton's new guys/business, waiting for reply, in FL with their XLR series.. The cost new with B&B is about same price as a Tempest new or having one reworked. I have not seen nary a bad comment on the razor. I had a great experience with him.

I was just posting to share if anyone was considering the same thing.

Thank you for all your great support.

[PatriotAW4]

If the Tempest is blowing out and not getting on plane then it's venting too much and needs the holes plugged or you have the motor way too high.

[cw95bronc]

I do not have a tempest at all. All I have is the 26 3 blade fury and a Rubex hr4 23P 4 blade that was worse than the fury.

The tempest has been the recommendations and my research found that those were the complaints, blow out, not getting on plane, severely out of spec out of box. That's before even getting to the used ones.

Thank you for the help. That's why looking at the razor's.

[smoken86]

You will be running much better even with an out of spec tempest. Get a used 25p and handful of plugs. Easy to get set up once you know what it likes and just feather it on break over.

Fury isn't a bad prop at all just doesn't run well on some hulls

[PatriotAW4]

Don't buy a new Tempest either just find a used one and send it to a prop shop.

[cw95bronc]

Thoughts on a 26 tempest+ in comparison to the 26 fury 3? would the rpms be enough not to lug motor. Not sure on rpm difference.

fury by myself 5550, 66 mph wot. More concerned with me and 1 passenger. Roughly 460 lbs, and cruising.

Or is the 25p tempest+ just so much better to wait for.

what is the PTP number? fury 24 or 25 might work but I like a 4 blade on my stratos better 24p bravo1fs is what I had

[PatriotAW4]

A Fury runs stiffer than a Tempest, a 26 Fury is like a 27 Tempest, also the Tempest will lift the hull more allowing you to go faster and get even more RPM.

[cw95bronc]

Yes 26 fury 3 is stiff. It's probably a 27 tempest+ a lot of people reference this. But only they list is speed and not any rpm difference.

I have found a decent deal on a 26 tempest+ is why I'm asking. As long as it performs like the 26 fury but with more rpm and bow lift I would be happy. I don't fish during summer.

Even pitch Tempests don't run as well as Odd pitches.

i always get that backwards!!i'll sit quietly in the corner now!

[mactlman]

so sending a 24 out and having it worked up to a 24.5 or 25 works well?? more cup?

[21XDC]

The even pitch tempests have backwards pitch and the water falls off the blade w/o much lift...

[PatriotAW4]

Even pitch Tempests don't run as well as Odd pitches.

I am getting ready to test this. Swapping my 25 Tempest out for a 26, both blueprinted.

[cw95bronc]

Thank you 21xdc for explaining that. Now I know the main reason for the odd pitch numbers are better out of the box or used with no repair.
