Well, Yes I have experimented with Bravo 4 blades, Spinnelli's & Hydromotives....however my research will do you no good. I turn Hydromotive QIV 26.5"; they are slightly reduced diameter and Labbed-4900rpms yields 71.5mph. Twin 350's.....
Most 525 boats are turning labbed 26 4-blade Bravos or stock 24's @ 5200.(I think)

My boat came with a 2P Bravo 4 blade with some cupping. Could not run the correct RPM's and could not break 70 MPH. Got a new 26P 4 blade Bravo and had BBLADES lab it. Now it runs 73 MPH at 5200 RPM...right where it should be.
