What 4-blade prop on Mercury 300 hp

[Triton03Vance]

2020 Lynx..300 Pro XS 4S..I have ran the 24 pitch Fury 4 some but i would say by far the best prop for my Lynx is the Mercury 26 pitch Bravo 1 XS..I seen alot of posts on Bassboat Central saying get the Bravo 1 XS, so i bought one and ran it and performs GREAT and way better than the Fury 4..The Bravo XS has 8 PVS holes in it and i have no plugs in the 4 holes closest to the gearcase and 2 solid plugs in the holes closest to the propnut opposite sides from each other..

They are nice propellers. The 26.5  and 25.5 versions also are good for some uses. They are custom, thus more expensive also.

I am curious when running the Bravo 1 XS 26 pitch was it an all-around better prop as in hole shot/midrange or did you also notice a difference in top speed?  Thx in advance.

Holeshot/midrange was about the same as the Fury 4 but was way better in those areas than the Fury 3..Bravo does not lift the stern as much as the Fury 4 so it doesn’t make the bow/keel dig as much as the Fury 4 did in the midrange area..top speed the Bravo is about 2 mph faster than the F-4 and 2 to 3 mph slower than the F-3..all things considered from bottom to top the Bravo is the best all-around prop for my Lynx..

I’m shocked that a lot of guys don’t use 4 blades.  I love the hole shot and acceleration and handling

I agree with you. But, to many it is all about that extra 2-3 mph that you may achieve with a 3 blade.
