I am with you there - I had a power issue so I didn't get to run it after the Shootout when it gets crazy. However, Wednesday through Saturday morning it was a wave crushing machine. We were a little late getting to the fun run and found ourselves in a lot of wash off of the rocks. I looked over at my co pilot and he was drinking coffee while we were running over 80.
What power do you have in yours to reach Mid 90's plus? I have/had a couple of dyno proven 630hp - XR drives - 31 4 blade bravo 1's and didn't quite see those numbers. I tried some 34 bravo 1's but they would blow out right before I could get on plane.

BBlades did my 34s in an attempt to get me on plane. They put a ton of cup in them and in doing so pulled about 7mph off of them. I guess you could say they are a work in progress. These engines are originally Teaque 720s that spin crazy high RPMs. I was running 95 at about 6200 with 32 bravos before my rebuild. When Eddie got done with them they were chipped at 6000. They do have Teague Platinum drives behind them.

I kind of agree with Pat. The Hydro is good out of the box and will save you some money if you just want an everyday prop. The Bravo can't be beat for top end. Pat will say a Maximus cut down to 15" and if you want to spend the money he's right. I must say that after I've been through all of these props I wish I had a good set of Maxi's.
