Has anyone toyed with one and liked it? Thinking about trying one to see if it carries a load any better than the fury. I like the ride of the Bravo, but it idles too fast and wont power load on the trailer.Any thoughts would be appreciated before buy another door stopper.Thanks

I have a “worked” 25p Tempest Plus that I want to try on my Eyra just to see if it is a viable back-up to the Fury but fishing keeps getting in the way of testing. RobertBassCatSC

My sabre would not lift or carry the nose at all with a fury, Changed to a tempest + and now I can carry the nose and a load high enuff that on windy days it tends to feel a little sketchy.

Dont bother. Fury is your best all-around option on the Eyra for 97.7% of the world. 25 if you live in the South or stuff it full or 26 when its cooler or with a light load.Tempest will be a hair faster out of the gate but slower on top. No real difference in load carrying. Trophy will be slow out but a hair faster on top. Will burn more fuel in mid-range because rpms will be higher due to slip. Bravo 1 XS will be better out but slower on top. Will carry the load the best. Thats all I got. Out.Last edited by Kevin Short on July 5th, 2016, 11:55 pm, edited 1 time in total.

We would not expect it to work well as we never found one to be better.

Thats about what I expected to hear. Thanks guys! Looks like Ill be sending a 25 to Ronnie Gilbert soon. Hopefully a 25 with some cup will bridge the gap between the 25 and 26 in top end.

Though not a eyra and I wasnt after top end speed. I was after midrange. Made a world of difference in mine.2013 PANTERA 2MERCURY 200 PRO XSMINNKOTA 80LB FORTREX25 fury
