Running a 25p Fury on my P2 with a 200 Pro XS. It is really doing a pretty nice job but I am wanting to try a 4 blade and maybe run it in the cooler months. Thinking the Bravo XS 1 maybe in a 26p or 26.5p. Anybody that has ran this prop on anything let me know your thoughts! Hopefully someone out there has tried exactly what I am contemplating and has some words of wisdom for me. A man sometimes just has to Play!!Dan

Chasing the rabbit. Careful – its addicting. I have 4 props in the garage and a loaned Fury on the boat now. Weve grown up, but still love to play, and buy toys. Theyve sure gotten expensive.

If it were me…..I would pick up a 26 Fury for the colder months to play with. The PII loves the Fury prop. The Bravo1 will not get you the speed performance that Im guessing you are looking for. BrianBrianHAWG Hunter2013 BassCat Eyra2013 Mercury 250 Pro XS Gen2 L/U

I ended up with better handling, hole shot, or both. I just know from propping several ski boats that a prop can totally change the way a boat runs and handles. I appreciate everyones input!Dan

Hi Dan,In my experience with my 09 PII 200 H.O. Rude, the 25 Fury was HARD to beat in any category. I ran a 25 Trophy Plus worked by DAH that was amazing. The Fury was one mph faster but that Trophy after it was worked was amazing everywhere and it would load the boat in the back of my truck like the Fury is known for. The Bravo is a completely different animal. It is very large in diameter (15.25″) and doesnt load a boat nearly as well as the Fury does, but you can back the boat a little further down the ramp to compensate for it. The Bravo would be good in rough water and may help a little with handling. All in all in stock form I like the Fury on that hull.
