    I sold my Bravo 26 and my Hydromotive.

    Been running the Fury 3 24 that came on it.


    It's good enough with one person, and a light load.

    With a full tanks of gas, full live wells, and a normal tournament load, it's not ideal. Hole shot really suffers. I don't feel safe in a tournament blastoff with my bow up blocking my vision that long.

    I'm thinking of trying a Bravo 25 or a Fury 4 24.

    I really liked the Fury 4 24 on my Cougar, but these are obviously two different boats.

    That prop threw an ear and I swore I'd never own another one.

    Anyone tried the Fury 4 on a Puma STS?

    TNReb, what kind of top speeds were you seeing with the Fury 4 on your Cougar? I have a 2021 Cougar with a 250 pro xs and it came with a Fury 25. Lite loaded with 2 people i see upper 70's but if i fill the livewells and have 30 gallons of gas it will hardly break over to get on plane. Was thinking of going down to a 23 or 24 Fury 3 blade or possibly 4 blade.

    It was around 73 with FULL load. (Fury 4 24p). 74.5 was my best with average load (still have pictures).

    The Fury 3 24 worked by Mark Croxton would hit 80 on a good day with one person, empty live wells, and half tank of gas. 80.2 was my best.
