    650 Pro Tour prop question

    What prop are you guys running and how has it held up? My boat came new with a 27 bravo and only lasted 35 hours. Looking for input

    100 hrs on a Fury 26 four blade. No issues.

    What kind of speed are you getting loaded?

    Which outboard do you have? I have the Suzuki 250SS and am currently running a 28p prop. I need to get a 30-32p to get higher speeds. I have heard a lot of guys with the 650 and Suzuki 250 are running 32 bravos and are getting upper 80's.

    Currently with my setup, a 4 blade stainless (suzuki prop), I am getting upper 60's. I just had Mark Croxton work it over so I am excited to test it out. My rig jumps out of the hole as soon as you touch the gas pedal but doesn't hit 70 from what I can tell. I really only have Lake Huron to test it out on and I've yet to have a day that is perfect for testing speed.

    If anyone is telling you they are getting upper 80's with any 250 on a 650 I'd ask for GPS proof. Low 80's light and mid to upper 70's loaded at best with a 250.

    I’m running a 250 mercury four stroke. With a 26 promax and only getting 70.5 loaded. Even with a 27 bravo it was not much faster. I must be doing something wrong or mercury is just that much slower

    Your throttle may not be calibrated properly....what is your RPM at WOT with the 26/27?
