.Chuck is right on PowerTech. Give them a call and request the FUR series. It sacrifices about 1-2 MPH on the Merc Fury and Hole Shot drop a half second or so. Request the same pitch your running in a Fury. Steve has a good shop and their tech Marcus will usually answer the phone.
It will not replace the performance of a Fury. We are working diligently to match or improve performance of a Fury with another brand prop and we haven’t been able to do that. They perform very well and the X7 alloy is lightweight.

I tried a 25p Trophy on mine with good results. They are common enough that you might be able to borrow one to try.
If you don’t run WO all the time, I liked the fact that the 4 blade carried the bow at a much lower RPM so cruise performance was improved.
I bought the 24p PowerTech 3 blade. Performance is way off from the 24 Fury 3 blade on my 250 ProXs 4 stroke. I have 4 AGM Batteries and Power Poles.
What the prop feels like to me is that it is lifting the rear of the boat too much and not allowing the nose to come up for speed. The rear will actually get a bit loose in a corner to confirm my suspicion. This prop definitely needs worked to get some performance back, but if the blades will stay on, it will at least be a reliable spare.
But certainly not as close in performance as I’d hope for. Long ways off.
The 24p would not have been my first choice if top end was my priority! My experience with a Eyra was 2 years in a 2017 with a 250 2-stroke. I run a 26p warm weather and a 27p cold months with good results. I’m aware you got a 4-stroke, just a thought, but you might get back in contact with Power Tech and state your case and see if they would swap your 24p for 25p, that or get in touch with Ronnie Gilbert for advice. Good luck!
