Brett recently labbed a couple of 24" Bravo props for me. All too often only the negative comments show up, so I thought I'd post a positive. They are fantastic. I have one very happy customer! These were on a 400SS Formula that has Whipple charged 500 EFI's in it. They worked exactly as we had hoped for. We gained some RPM, which brought the engines into the power band and really woke the boat up. They also created more bow lift. It went from 66 mph at 5100 RPM to 71 mph at 5700 RPM. That is one bad "cruiser"

I also tested one of these props on a 27' Nordic deck boat. We picked up 2 mph over a stock 24" Bravo 1 prop.

I'll be sending Bblades a bunch more business.

Bob

Brett did my prop on my old boat and it was everything he said it would be. I will probably sending my sunsation props to him, once I run the boat with some other wheels to get some better info.

A great guy to deal with. He takes the time to discuss things with you to make sure he has all the information needed. I can't wait to try my labbed props this spring.

Brett has done 2 sets for me, and both work great!

Gonna need a little tweaking this year I think...I'll call on him again for his expertise!

Brett has mine dialed in. Gave him the GPS,Dyno info, & Rpm's and I think my prop is as good as it can get. Just have to keep her trimmed up in shallow water. don't want to ruin all that good work!
