Lake Shores is making sure she will be sea worthy by the time I am ready to go to the lake. Was wondering though. I have stock 25P bravo's on there. I am thinking of ditching those and going with labbed 25P Mirage Plus props. I have heard conflicting information on if they need to be spun in or out though. Thoughts?

With 502 MPI's I ran 26 Bravo 4 blade as my favorite. Responsive and a little more snap in the mid range acceleration, but you could find the rev limiter if heavy on the trim.. I had run 28 Bravo 4 blade also , and would rpm around 4800-4900, never get to rev limit. However in big water (Lake Erie on a windy day ) trying to stay on plan at low speed you would cavitate, lose plane and have to slow down to a couple mph to get back on plane. Got my highest mph with the 28 Bravo -75mph gps every once in a blue moon ,74 mph three times every blue moon, 73 mph all the time. Had 25 Mirage plus at one time , good with a load of people, and in ugly water, but not the top mph.

28 in Michigan (Paleface) has been sold to a guy down by Cincinatti, said he will be on Lake Cumberland mostly .
