I have an 03 cougar FTD which I think is a little narrower hull than current model. My motor is 250 proxs (2012) and I have dual ppoles. The last couple years Ive been running a 27 bravo xs and I like its overall performance – except holeshot is a bit slow. Due to manual plate and regular rough water use, I cannot run the bravo as high as it likes, so my top end is only 73-74 with just me and a heavy tackle load and low 70s with two. These are both around 6000rpm. Ive also ran a 25 trophy and it runs to 72 fully loaded at 6000 but that is still running light on the pedal. I could easily over rev with this prop but I really like the quick hole shot. I want to try the new fury 4 blade and am trying to decide on 25 or 26″. Im hoping it will perform a little better than the bravo set lower on the plate (3.5″ below). If I could get to 75 with a 25pitch and just keep an eye on the rpms to get a good holeshot – I would be very happy. If I could turn a 26 to high 70s and still have a good holeshot, Id be ecstatic!! So what are the recommendations from guys that have ran the new fury4?
