4195

Brett at BBlades just labbed a set of 26p Bravo 1's for me and gained 4 mph. top end and gained in cruise as well. I am running 500's that are about 560 hp per side. The boat was running 74-75 in 2-3 chop last year. Had the boat out yesterday in flat water 2 guys 2/3 tank of fuel and hit 78.9 on gps. This is the best $1700 I ever spent on the boat(New props.lab,hubs) Maybe it's me but I just don't think this boat should be this fast with power, but I am happy! I am hoping with a little rougher water and 1/2 tank of fuel aybe I will see 80mph. I guess it's time to find any weight I can throw off it.

Thats awesome!!! Did you buy them brand new or did he lab your old props?? Did you gain or loose rpm? what were the differances in rpm?

4195

Yes the props are brand new. My rpms are about the same5200 or so. I don't have to trim the drives as far as I use to. The boat comes on plane pretty easy. At 3400 rpms. I was crusing @45 and at 3800 rpms I am cruising 54-55. I could not be happier.

What are you running for rpm and speed?

BDiggity

i *think* like 4600 rpm & high 60s/low 70s. I really only got to use the boat 1x last yr w/out kids (so no time to get accurate info) & i removed the speedo pickup so speed is seat of my pants feeling. Hopefully this weekend i will have it out to see rpms.

Good Lord. I run 26B1's spinning about 5200 with somewhere just south of 600hp and I don't see speeds ANYWHERE near that. I need to send them this winter I guess....

I have a '97 gun with modified 502 mpi's with about 530-540 HP. I just swapped out to new labbed Bravo 26's done by Throttle up. I am running 73-74 on GPS at around 5300-5400.
