My Razor 4XL does not lift the bow of my Blazer 675 Ultimate Bay very well, but better than the Bravo XS does. I have 22% slip on the Razor XL. Sent back to Mark once already, probably wont again. Prop is awesome everywhere except top end. Trying a Tempest Plus this weekend. Running a 24 XL and will be trying a 24 Tempest +. The Bravo XS is a 25p. I can turn both to 6100. Hoping the Tempest will have less slippage. A 25 Fury 3 blade was the worst prop I have ever tried on a boat. lol.

Have emailed marks several times with no replies? Better to try calling? Was trying to not interrupt his day if possible

I’m also looking at moving into a 24P Razor XL as I have run a 26 and 25 re-pitch that Mark worked on for me but I’m still not seeing the RPM’s and a top speed in the low 60’s. It gets out of the hole pretty good but just can’t generate the RPM’s to get a decent top end. I also switched out my batteries to lithiums and now I have to much lift on the rear end and I have a sway issue that I can’t correct with my jack plate height. I’m thinking the 24P XL might be closer to
the juice.

Turns out the 24 Razor XL was still better for bow lift than the 24 Tempest plus. However, the TP was WAY better than the Fury i tried. I think the larger diameter makes all the difference. Ordered a 4" static plate extension for my 10" Bob's Hydro Jp. It will arrive this week and i hope to get installed one day next week. I think this is the only way i will cure my bow lift issue on my boat. 14" setback should make a significant difference. I will most likely sell my 25p Bravo XS if the Razor XL does what i want after the setback update. I am also considering a 24.5 Max 5 ST. But damn, they are pricey!
Spent all day calling, about 20 times, and finally got through!!! ordered my razor XL today. Should have it a couple weeks or less looking forward to it.

Pretty sure the XLR will give even more bow lift than the XL.

Yes he does. I don't know anything about the Razor props specifically, but usually more rake is better for bow lift on props that are surfacing and want to run high like a Tempest. The rake keeps it hooked up. Props that are running lower and aren't surfacing as much can have less rake with similar levels of bow lift. Lots of other variables too obviously.
What is the best way to contact Mark about his props, I’ve tried calling and have emailed him. Still no response
