Better off to call they are busy right now.

Its funny how different people have different results with the same props. My 253 with a 502 ran faster with a Bravo one 24 then the Hydro 23, only by about 1mph but the bravo also spun about 200 rpm's lower. I wonder if it may be a different x dimension.
My buddy ran a hydro on his AT this weekend and it ran great when the water was rough, as soon as it was calm he lost like 4mph, it was better then the bravo in the rough but worse in the calm water.

What rotation you running and does the boat run flat without tabs ?
I have to drag my left tab all the time to get boat to run flat, weight is balanced in boat.
Will be calling BBlades to see what to try. Now have 32P Bravo 1 non-labbed.

I run a right handed prop. Same situation for me have to drag the left tab as well. Don't hesitate to call Brett my boat handles and runs way better with the new prop. What are you running top end.

BBlades sending a LH 32P B1 for me to test to try and get some better numbers. Hope the LH rotation eliminates the listing issue I have. Dragging the left tab srubs speed and it definitely does not help high speed handling.
Should end up with a custom 34P B1 that will put boat in that exclusive 'club'.

Definately let us know if the left had prop helps or if it just leans the other way. I also drag the left tab at cruising speed but at high speeds I pull both up and it just leans a little bit not not bad, its way worse at slower speeds.
