Turbo is making a prop specifically for the new SHO. Most people seem to be running a 25 or 27 T-1 since they don't make a 26. For most the 25 is all over the limiter and the 27 is to tall. Yamaha has been working with Turbo and have developed the new FXP series prop. I listed the full details below and how to get one if you don't want to wait until the mass shipment to dealers start in a month or so.

Steve's Custom Props located in Texas. I called him because he is the only person who has any of these props right now. He just got back from the Skeeter owners event and they were running these props on several boats with an average of 1-3 mph gain over the Yamaha T series props and better holeshot. The props are currently available in 25 and 26 pitch, they are ventless and have the press in type hub and will also accept Flo-Torque shafts. They have a 14 3/4 barrel. These props have a lifetime warranty and they are 100% backed by Yamaha and will not void the warranty on the motor IF there is an issue.They are limited in supply and pitch and he will ship them. You can contact Steve @ 903-765-9000, super nice guy. Tell him Bryan sent you and he'll take good care of you.
 
Do you know what kind of price he is asking for the 26 pitch? I am running the 26 pitch Mercury tempest prop. and would really like to get away from it. I like the way it runs with it, I just don't like the hub that is in it. I did run the 25 pitch V-max prop and it was not big enough. I have not tried the 27 pitch??
 
Interesting. I have a new boat ordered with a 250SHO but I think I will be able to turn the 27 T-1.

Brad, you should try a Fury.
 
I'm running a 27 T-1 on mine and it does really well. I'm not running it real high and I'm turning 5900 RPM's. I tried a 27 tempest and it just didn't have enough stern lift and the boat was sluggish. I love my SHO but they are a pain in the butt to prop and they like to run high but my hull doesn't. If this prop doesn't work out I'm going to look at either a Bravo 1 or a Hydromotive Quad 4.

Check your PM for the price on the prop.
 
Dang Lance, I can't believe you let the Ally go. Did you order another Ally or did you switch brands?
 
brian, when you get that prop, i want to run it on my boat. you can run my 28 bravo. i think youll like the bravo for your setup. we just will probably have to plug the holes.

Jimmy, your more than welcome to try it out but I don't think you're gonna like it. It's ventless and only a 26 pitch. I don't even think it has holes drilled in the barrel for vents but we'll see when I get it.

I ordered a Basscat Eyra with 250SHO. Now for the long wait...

Congrats Lance on the Cat, they are nice boats for sure and you'll love the SHO. If your on BBC look up a guy with the screen name Flyswatter. He has a 2010 Eyra with a 250 SHO and he has several different props he's been trying out. He could help you with set up if you need it. He's a great guy.

I like the Eyra's. Good looking boat and they are supposed to run decent with lots of storage. Im just not crazy about the signature bass cat stripe on the side. but as long as you didnt get it in Flaming yellow like Blake's boat you should be ok. emoLaugh
