just talked to Greg at CEP and he also recomended the "outboard" bravo series prop. i have a set of stock 26p bravo that i can borrow from the local prop shop.

yup, that should make the boat handle real well. makes it fly straight rather then tossing the bow up

2ton, I have a similar boat to yours and I run 28' bravos with vent holes. The props are great out of the hole and carry the bow very well w- trim. My choppers are a few mph faster on top end but are not as user friendly.

Good luck-

You could also try a 4 blade tempest..

went and picked up the 26 bravos yesterday.

the mercury dealer is rebuilding my lower...everything new except the shaft for 1500 bucks.

the clutch dog itself and the dogs on the forward gear were rounded ...prolly due to prolonged lazy shifting and/ or improper cable adjustment. everything else looked great.

hope to be back on the water next weekend with a few props to try.

WHAT A BOUT A SET OF 4 BLADE CHOPPERS?

theres a set in the swap shop....

Mercury doesn't make a 4 blade Tempest. They make the Trophy Plus but to my knowledge only in right hand rotation..

You can try a set of 4 b-blade blasters....I hear they are great props but $$.

Sorry I couldnt remember if it was trophy or tempest..I had both for my outboards...

hey guys....

since my boat is naturally light in the bow...and according to the prop guys i dont need a bow lifting prop...

what about a set of mercury cleavers?

Cleavers might blow out to bad..You could always try a set of the 4 blade solid hub clevers. They look like a chopper but have a flat trailing edge on them. You also may want to try a hydromotive prop, they are suppost to have more of a stern lifting characteristic from what ive heard..
