These scratches go through the gell coat already. Bought the boat in MN… Took 18 hrs to get there. Sure not bringing it back to let them see what they did. Didnt have a choice on the prop. Thats what was on it. Ive read that the standard prop was a 25 fury.

Just bought a 2015 Caracal. Im 61″ and weigh 245 and I can tell you there isnt a lot of room behind the wheel in it either. Had a tr19 and tons more room behind the wheel but I didnt buy the Caracal for room behind the wheel. Huge deck and great layout for gear and big water ride made it the boat for me but I know what you mean about room behind the wheel.

Everything Ive read said to take all the plugs out of the fury.

Just bought a caracal as well and I have the same problem…uneven lids but like above just havent taken the time to work on the latches. Great looking boat. Good luck with it. What is the pitch of your prop by the way?

the fury 4 is not available until september. According to their press, you will be able to run the same pitch in the fury 4 that you are currently running in the 3 bladed fury. 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.

My dealer sent me a 26 Bravo I as I was only getting 5500 rpm on wot out of the 25 fury. Anxious to get it on and called BCB to ask for a height on the jackplate because I had a tourny on Saturday but they didnt get back to me yet. I have nothing but problems loading the Caracal on the trailer so the prop will just be another thing to get used to just cant find the sweet spot yet. It will come. LOVE the boat and ride!!

Where do you have your jackplace set for the Bravo?

[PAcarakitty]

Did you adjust your jackplate at all when you put the bravo on?

My new Caracal came with a 26 fury. It was a dog out of the water. Switched to a 25 fury and it was pretty good. Switched to a Bravo 1xs 26 and the hole shot was very good. Switched to a 24 fury 4 blade and boom…great hole shot and very little off the top end of the 25 fury 3 blade.

Loading my Caracal 2015 is always an experience. It has a very tight sweet spot to get on to the trailer with no problem but switching to the 24 fury 4 blade made no difference for me as far as getting on to the trailer was concerned. It is just a much tougher experience from my triton.

I bought the one from bcb as well. My cat is a 2015. Do you have the new insert of the original one. there is a huge difference from what I understand.

I think with the pp and rear tanks you will like the 24 fury for a very good hole shot. I run the 25 fury 3 in spring and fall and switch to 24 fury 4 during summer months but have liked the 24 fury 4s hole shot so much that I think Im just going to keep it on all year.. LOVE the boat!!

Just wanted to hear from someone that had the 4 battery config that there was room.I assume those 4 are mounted in 2 double trays end to end?Is there still room for power pole hydraulics?Absolutely no problem putting hydraulics in they are being put behind the rider seat in that storage area.

I bought a storage tub from home depot and just put it in there. Keep a ton of stuff in it. Doesnt fit with the lid on but does a great job of keeping stuff i dont use often out of the way…mooring ropes, fenders, xtra trolling motor prop, jumper cables, oil, gas treatment, basic tools. It was just too big a space not to use. Had a triton with those trays you are talking about. I took them out because they were too shallow to be of much use to me and had to constantly take them out to bet to batteries. Caracals space is huge and interferes with absolutely nothing.
