Anyone run a 27p Tempest on a 2007 Puma with a Mercury 250 Pro XS if so tell me handling and hole shot compared to a 26p Trophy or a 27p Trophy. Thanks

You might also want to consider a 26 Fury. Im running one on my 08 Cougar FTD and it has better hole shot, top end and handling than the trophy.

I have run a 27 tempest a few times on my puma, 250xs, compared to the 27 trophy I normally run the tempest is slower out of the hole and about the same on top end. A 27 tempest is a big wheel to try and turn. Have not ran a fury yet on my rig but my guess is the 26 fury will probably turn to many rpms. Might work good in warmer water though.

Danny The safest bet on any prop out of the box right now on any 20 BCB w/ 250 Pro XS is the 26 Fury! There are some that will run a 27 Trophy, 27 Tempest, 26 Trophy, 28 Trophy and the still the best all around prop is the 26 Fury. Handles well, top end speed is good, hole shot is excellent, acceleration is excellent, and will run rough water with the best of them. There probably isnt but 1-2 mph between any of them, but considering all performance characteristics of the Fury, it surpasses the others! Im having a 26 Fury “tweeked” by my prop guy to see if it will gain on the top end. Cant wait to see what that thing will do!

When you say tweeked what are you having done to it and who is doing the work. Is it ok on the rpms.
