Fury 4 Pitch

Just re-read your original post I see you are running a 25 Fury. You may wanna give Croxton a call. See what he says about adding PVS holes.

I tried to get the fury 4 for my caracal for the same reasons you listed. My dealer suggested I give the bravo 1xs a try.Given the delays theyve had getting this out – dont know that theyll hit the Sept. date either. I know their press says same pitch as the Fury 3 – but the Fury 3 is for 175hp+ and the Fury 4 is 200hp+. I also wonder if the Fury 4 will be anything like when they rolled out the ProMax prop. Between testing and market rollout the design completely changed and if you werent running a tater chip hull – it wouldnt get out of the hole. It doesnt pay to get too intent on a new concept prop until theyve sold a bunch of em and you get real world results. Being an “early adopter” means guinea pig when it comes to boat props…..Best hole shot props out there are the Bravo 1XS as stated and also the Croxton Razor4 XL. Either one may cost you a mph or two on top – but theyll lift the butt and get it out of the hole in a hurry – especially with a load. I dont know that every prop out there isnt a compromise to some degree. BTW – if more venting will do it for the Fury3 – send it off to Croxton and hell drill additional venting to help the hole shot.

Heres my take-been there done that. Think that rig with proper setup should turn a 26 Fury. I have a 27 Bravo FS and a 26 Fury for 2012 Eyra with 250 XS. Fury is a little bit of a slug coming out of the hole-Bravo is a beast. Do you have all your PVS plugs out of the Fury 3 out-take them out. Extra venting on the Fury 3 will help. Ideal RPMs with proper venting should be around 3800 RPM. If that doesnt get it up and out of there you might try the Bravo. Bravo gives excellent hole shot, handles better in rough water also, excellent stern lift and awesome mid range punch and overall easier to drive. Bravo is difficult to load, trailer depth is critical to get it loaded.Last edited by 1hoteyra on July 1st, 2016, 4:53 am, edited 1 time in total.

The original Fury seemed to sell faster than could be produced right out of the gate. Heavily pre advertised it was the next big thing. Its not like buying a first year model new vehicle. This will be for certain applications but more than likely BassCat will know if it works on any of their rigs fully loaded down for fishing. Now lets not forget a company called Hydromotive that builds a fine prop as well. But as with most things these are all opinions as to best props. I ran trophy on my P II and had no problem running down P IIs using a tempest. It comes down to set up and performance.Last big release was the Pro Max prop. Marketed for light to medium weight boats and advertised with excellent hole shot. People with bullet hulls reported they couldnt get them to come out of the hole. Sold a ton of them too. Poor resale market for an expensive door stop. Only happy folks were on Scream & Fly. People who were a part of the prototype program said the finished models performed nothing like what they tested. Nothing against the fury 3 – its a great prop. I just dont trust new prop hype until real world numbers roll out. Understand as well – setup is everything. Without proper setup the best prop wont perform until you find the ideal height for your typical load.
