What Prop size should I look at?

Nate,
Are your props Bravo1's? If yes, the pitch of the props are the last (2) digits cast into the prop hub on the outside...

Imo 30 is too tall... I'd bet you'll be at a 26 5 blade or 28 labbed bravo one.
In all my prop testing adventures I have found that my boat hates hydromotive stuff. Brett or Ryan (I believe) at bblades are top notch... I ran 7 or 8 props through them this spring before I found what my boat liked.
Also make sure you know the drive ratio because assuming a 1.5 when you really have a 1.36 is enough of a difference to screw up your figuring.
Also slip is a huge factor. Getting below 10% (I've recorded as low as 7)
Happy testing.

Just a quick observation but if you don't extend the bunks on you trailer your current props will be the correct ones before too long..........

Someone stole my crank handle so I just used a pair of vice grips to crank the boat on. Didn't quite have the leverage I wished with some hand held grips.
The trailer and bunks fit the boat good when I have something to actually crank the boat all the way up.

Boat is sitting back on the bunks in that pic.

Back to the prop question: Get the prop pinch and run the slip numbers and see where they fall.
You're probably close enough on you current props to send them to BBlades for some tweaking......

Now that's funny! I've had a lot of things stolen at the ramp but never my winch handle! LOL

Ya...people are A-holes. Last time someone hit my trailer and took a light out, this week it is my crank handle, what can you do lol.
Ya I am going to give BBlades a ring for sure. See if I can get it all done before the end of the FL season.
