Default Bravo 1 props

Ok so im new to all this props stuff. I have a 35 Nordic with 502 mpi's with the AZ package. It came with 30 pitch B1's that had B Blades stamp on them. I had my local prop shop do some lab work and cut the outer ring off of them. I can only get 80/82 mph at 5100 rpm with crappy hole shot and moderate mid range. I bought a set of un touched 26's with great hole shot great midrange turning 54 to 5500 rpm BUT only getting 76 to 79 mph. So my question is do i rework the 30s or work the 26s?? Thanks guys

I tried new 28s and they olny hit 5000 rpm and same speed as the 30s. So would i be able to get more speed out of the 26s and sacrifice some rpm if i cup them?

I have a set of 30's that came from a 35' Nordic.. same power... they are labbed and are my backup props... if you are interested in trading.. let me know as these supposedly ran 84/85ish.

You need to decide what you want the most..Top end, hole shot, or mid. A labbed 28 might be pretty good for you. Lab is a little "slippery" on the bottom but will give you more on the top ideally.

I think i made the mistake of cutting offf the Exhaust ring on my 30s and that is why it is blowing out on the low end. Not all hulls want the same thing.ni did it because my buddy loves his. But hes got an old V hull and mine is notched. 2 different animals. His loves the ring s cut off.
