Hydromotives on a 33PP

ActiveFun · 01-08-2009, 11:58 AM

I did a search and found some posts on Hydromotive props but no real final answer. Has anyone tried Hydromotive props on a 33PP with HP500 carb motors and see a total improvement over 28 Labbed Bravos? I like the attitude of the boat with the Bravos, would the bow tend to sag with the Hydros since its a heavy boat that could use bow lift?

yes the boat will nose dive i ran them on my 33 carb 500s lost 5mph bravos are the way to go unless you get the hydros with the bravo like design

Stick with the Bravos. I've run hydros on 4 different 33's. They don't plane as well and loose midrage cruise. My experience is they were faster than a stock bravo but same or slower than labbed Bravo. The HydroX is supposed to be like the Bravo, but I've never tried it.

No difference in top speed but the Bravos had better midrange and were alot better getting up on plane...
