Your rpm should be very close between the 30 Hering and the Bravo 1 32. Herring is true-to-pitch while the Bravo 32 is really about a 30.5" pitch. Add the 5th blade and you should be real close.

I agree puder. The Herings are the finest out-of-the-box props I have seen.

I would be wary of purchasing used Herings, however.

I have a pair of race labbed Bravo 34 4 blades from Zipp Express for sale. Test time only on Zipp and one hour on my Spectre. Let me know if you are interested.

Do you think the Herrings will increase the top end?

Wet-Kitty,

That is the $4000.00 question.

We have been working with Hydromotive through the fall and winter on a prop that would compete with the Hering 5 and 6 blade.

I just finished the first set of prototype props. The are a full 15.5" diameter 5 blade propeller with a 31" pitch.

If you like give us a call and I can fill you in on all the details. We also have this prop as a test prop in 31 and 32 pitch.

This is the prop I was reffering to. I will have some data on it tomorrow after we test it on the Donzi Super V race boat sometime tomorrow.

This is not a P5. It is a Hydromotive prototype prop that is very different than anything else Hydromotive has.

The 5 blade herrings are on my brothers new 36 Apache.

I was going to try them out first & see how they worked.

I'll give you a call

Won't know until Miami. Just Got back from Texas. Jimmy bought an Apache.

I heard the Herring 5 bladers will help the midrange acceleration, BUT KNOCKS A FEW mph'S OFF OF THE TOP END.

i WILL LET YOU KNOW.
