Anyone know what the difference is between these two props? Turbo's website says nothing. I've heard they are both fast props. Looking for a similar prop to my Mirage but with larger diameter.

I would recommend that you call Precision Propellers in Indiana.

We work closely with the Precision boys. We carry their entire line of propellers too.

The TXP has about 3 degrees more rake angle to carry the bow on big bass and walleye boats. The TXP also has pitch ranges from 19 to 32 inches of pitch! The Lightning runs 21-29 inches of pitch.

The Lightning has a shorter exhaust tube with a diffuser while the TXP is longer without a flare. We have some of these propellers for testing if anyone is interested.

I tested a Lightning a couple of weeks back.
My boat had a tough time getting on plan. It may have been because of the slots on the exhaust tube. It cavitated bad coming out of the hole. I guess the prop is meant more for outboards.
Once on plan my boat did run pretty good with this prop, great acceleration and it did carry the bow well. Top speed was not faster than the B1 4 blade that Brett tweaked for me though.
Noboat, just send BBlades a 26p B1, and have Brett make the same mods he did to my B1.
Jo at Pantera is racing a 24' with a B1 labbed by Brett.
You won't be disappointed...

I sold my 26 Bravo. I know Jo is running one but my boat hated the 4-blade in the slop. Threw the boat around, either plowed or launched the bow, less speed and the rpms were down quite a bit. I know Brett is good but I just can't see that prop working on my boat. And I hate to spend the money and find out I was right!

Bringing this one back ttt since it's been awhile. I have tried several props and my two "keepers" so far have been the standard Mirage and Rev4. But I would still like to try either a Lightning or TXP.

If the TXP has more rake and bow lift, and my boat likes the Mirage over the Mirage+, would it be safe to assume I should stick with the Lightning?

onesickpantera

Well, I found a standard Lightning 27 that I will try. I think a 26 would work better but I got a great deal on the prop. Planning on trying it this week if the weather cooperates.

Try a Turbo Vector

I was looking at the Lightning and TXP because they are a higher rake prop.

Where is your X dimension?Doesn't the lightning want to run a little higher in the water? I have run Vectors on all my Bajas and they carry the bow very well.
