Ask the expert is there a way lace you can try a different prop without buying it. I’m running a 206 Champion with a 250 pro xs 4 stroke with a fury 3 24 p it’s good until it gets hot thinking of trying a fury 4 23p to get a better hole shot in summer. My guess is you won't be impressed with the holeshot of the 4 blade Fury as opposed to the three. I know it doesn't sound logical but the 4 blade props never had as good a holeshot on any of my boats as the 3 blades and I'm talking about a bunch of diff boats too. I've had the exact experience myself. Never found a 4 blade that would holeshot as well as a 3 blade of the proper pitch.

There are dozens of grades of stainless steel depending on their use.
Can you expand on that a little, I'd like to know more? The harder the metal the more prone it is to cracking from blade flex

A great video series, would be to have 4-5 different props, a hydraulic JP and test all the props on the same boat. Takes a ton of time though, but would awesome to see.

So you think a 3 blade has a better hole shot? I always thought the 4 blade was better but idk.
