    Fury or tempest

    I have a 1990 shadow 180v that I'm still in the break in phase of a rebuilt 1993 2.5 mariner carbed 200. Boat weighs 925, I believe. Has a beat up 24 pitch trophy that I'm just using for break in. I'll send it off to get worked eventually for a backup. My question is what prop is faster/overall better performer for a lighter bass boat like mine? Fury or tempest? Thanks for any advice/ recommendations.

    The Fury will give you a lot of bow lift and from my experience they tend to run a pitch higher, meaning my 25 ran like a 26, so if you want a 24, I'd get the 23 and you'd be fine.
    Just my opinion.

    I've experienced same thing with a fury, they run stiff and lots of bow lift. I also find they don't like to be ran very high, which is great for heavier boats. The tempest can be ran higher and may be a better candidate for your lighter boat, being you may not need all that bow lift.

    Thanks for the info guys. Once I finish my break in, I'll try a few different tempest. Thinking 26 is gonna be right where I need to be.

    I'm new at all of this going faster business. Couple of questions:
    How expensive is it to add a nosecone/low water pickup?
    What type speed differential is it from a standard prop/2-4 inches below pad to nosecone/lwp/surface prop? 3-5 mph?
    If I decide not to go that route, I won't get a "surface" prop. I'll stick with a tempest/fury/whatever is best for a lighter bass boat until I can add nosecone/lwp.

    What are your numbers right now with current setup? That is an extremely fast bass hull. I would think with a 200 mid 80's dialed in with low water pickup and the right prop.

    Still breaking in. Should be able to get some firm numbers by next week. I'll let you know. Thanks
