    alternative for 28 chopper ?

    I have a 225 EFI promax sheared shaft on a sportmaster 28"pitch chopper lost at sea, it was on a 19'5 tunnel 90ish MPH boat
    ANYONE know if a 27P Fury will run at high transom settings prop shaft level to boat bottom ? better or worst? I am upgrading to fat shaft need to modernize my prop selection
    thanks for your feedback

    I KNOW 1 exception a solas scorpion, a thru-hub that runs way high and smooth 3 blade, high rake, tons of lift. seems everyone who runs one, gives a great review. i run a 24, reallymeasures at 26p. takes a flo-torque. keeps up with my chopper, less torque. there are some tests on S/F about them also called an S3 model. 1/2 $ of merc prop. there 2'' stiff. you would need a 26''= 28 chopper.

    I like it,, the 28 4 blade is better all around with only a slight drop in top RPM maybe 200rpm

    I have a set of eagle 28s coming this week to hopefully replace my 28 bravos if I get the bow lift I'm looking for
