Hydromotive "X" verses Non "X" prop
Q4 "X" 24P plenty of trim response. Both were too much prop,56 mph at 4700RPM. VERY nice cruising props. No porpoise.
I just bought a Bravo 1 22p and a 24p there are next on my try list.
I run 63 MPH on GPS with a 23 mirage plus. Cruse speed propose. I see some guys are running a Mercury Revolution 4 Prop??? thought that was an Out Board prop?? Any one running one of them on a Checkmate IO ??
Thanks Zoobchop 513-315-5004

i am running 24p bravo 1 on my 98 convincor 253 with a 385 hp 454 bone stock and I have seen 60mph with a little more to go. need to get it up on the pad though. have a friend that has a zt280 with a labbed hydro IV 26p running a 496 with cmi's and he likes it. see's 74 on gps.

I have a 21 Revolution 4 I run on my 89 251 w/454 magnum. It runs just as good as my 22 Bravo one and 23 Mirage plus with a few more rpm (as it is a smaller diameter and pitch). I get the same top end and cruising speed.

1997 253 Convincor 502 mpi
I am running a stock 502 mpi and a 24p Bravo 1. I run constant 63-64 in the summer. Best speed of 67. My boat is a deluxe model, fridge, microwave, ac/heat and I carry alot of sh** in my boat. So i guess my speed is not bad..

2001 26 convincer, 502 mag, tweeked to 550 hp, 26 bravo labbed down to 25. awsome cruising prop but shaving about 4-7 mph on top. max rpm is about 5000. will be trying a 24 again next spring. i like the cruising better than top anyway.

So I am looking to add some top end speed to my "new to me" '96 253 (454 385hp). It has a 24p Bravo 1. I was told to go to a 22 Bravo. How about a 3 blade prop? Is that a bad idea? I am plannig on running around for one or two summers with the current motor then change some things up but for now I just want to get the most out of what I got.
Peace,
Rob

4 blade is better for take off, cruising, etc. more bite. 3 blade would get you more top end speed. what rpms are you running with the 24? you could send your 4 blade to murphys in virgina and have them tweek it down alittle. we launch at the goose alot. look us up this summer... mark
