I have two props for consideration regarding P4. Does anyone have any experience using Raker II 25P prop with P4 Evinrude Etec 200HO Setup? Any thoughts on Mazco HP4 25P prop with P4 Etec 200HO setup too. I have read some postive posts with this prop. Sounds like it could be the best of both worlds. Thanks, misr12

I believe with the Pantera 4s that I have seen and the 1 that I sold, BCB was using a 25 Trophy I believe, now I read some others getting fantastic speeds with a Fury and the 200 Optimax, I mean they were Haulin the Mail, according to Rick and Ivan that boat as we discussed runs best with the 200 HO that you are working on, I believe Rick explained it as the hull design and Lower unit design simply Meshing, at least thats how I took his wording….As we spoke that boat and the Bay Cat were the 2 boats that simply knocked my socks off, the Pantera 4 for its size,agility,styling and Rough water wave taming, the Bay Cat for being able to run about 70 and being able to try and find your cell phone trimmed out across Norfolk Lake, that thing was killer……Tom You will have 1 of the Sickest BCBs Ever colored when were done with this bad boy, too bad you couldnt get that 225 HO on that back, I know its not needed but sure would be cool…..BrannonYour Signature …

Just IMed Doug McGee a very respected BassCat owner. From our IM exchange I interpreted (may be wrong on my end) that the 200HO Etec Gear ratio may not yield benefits for optimum four blade performance with Mazco HP4 and that I could similar to same results with a more affordable Merc wheel. I think I need some education on Gear Ratios and how they play into prop performance (turning the wheel) . Let me know of a good performing 4 blade prop. I have never used a 4 blade prop but am considering one for this setup. Am I going in the wrong direction with a 4 blade prop? Am I splitting hairs and making this much to do about nothing? Thanks in advance! So many questions. Seems like I did this two years ago. LOL! misr12Last edited by misr12 on June 12th, 2009, 1:28 pm, edited 1 time in total.

Brannon, thanks for the encouragement. Hmm… Fury Prop what size pitch? Wonder how my worked Raker II 25P prop would perform? Hmmm….

John Mazur is a friend and we share a mutual respect for both parties. He has competed in several Owners Invitationals, SEVERAL! And as much as we really like John, the Mazco wheels are not really for applications like BCB models. We do not suggest it. BCB

Have you run Fury Props with 200HO Etec and P4? If so what size pitch? Thanks so much for your input!Last edited by misr12 on June 12th, 2009, 1:29 pm, edited 1 time in total.

No, not on the P4, though it should have the diameter and blade area to provide some performance. We are not thinking it will gain on a P4, though may enhance it some.

Can you suggest several props for the P4 and Etec 200HO? Thanks!

Most run the Raker II propeller and we have not found one that produced enough difference to leave the standard BRP propeller selection. Though we have not done enough with the Fury to make an opinion on that.

Does the 200 EtecHO and P4 combo (Etec mainly) have the torque to spin a 26P Fury? I already have a 25P Raker II and feel 26P Fury would be good for the summer as well as the winter if it can spin to 5800 RPMs at WOT. Thanks!
