    Tempest to Bravo

    Looking to run a 4 blade bravo on my boat. Currently running a tempest 25p and getting around 6200 rpms at 66mph. Looking for a 4 blade for great lakes fishing. Wondering if a bravo 1 fs 25p will deliver close numbers or if a 26p is needed?

    The 25 will have much more bow lift as it is a 24P with extra cup in the tips, But might be on the limiter. The 26 may be faster if you don't need the bow lift.

    I would say Bravo 26 P

    Correction: my advice was only for a Mercury Pro XS 4 Stroke.

    I have no idea what you need for a Honda.

    What motor and lower unit do you have? That sounds like way too much prop slip.

    Looking back through your post it looks like you have a Phoenix 921 with a Honda?

    There was a guy on the Honda forum that had that same setup. Can't remember his name. It was an older model. You may find someone with the same setup, I know they will be few and far between.
