Its my understanding that mirages lift the bow, bravos lift the bow also but also can lift the stern more than mirages, and hydros lift the stern. If all of the above holds true, then the bravos should work out the best. When the boat wants to porpoise with the hydros it does so by the bow coimng down very hard unless I put the drives or trim tabs far down...which then its plowing....the mirages did porpoise but not as hard, problem was they also wouldn't hold the bow down enough in the rough. If the bravos don't seem to work out the best than I will stay with the hydros but get a lower pitchs set. The ones I have were suppose to be 24's but they are 25's. Fully trimmed in the calm I can only get the rpm up to 45-46k. So being over propped is also probably helping cause the porpoising....we will see this weekend what the bravos do for me....

Mabye the pitch did have something to do with the porposing, because mine rode good and flat through rough water in Poker runs and all trimmed up and tabbed slightly under, It was a wonderfull ride, It was hard going to a 29 OL with mirages , because it prposes bad and always wants to air out

Seems a lot of 29's I see have bravos on them, have you tried them out on yours yet?

If the bravos don't work out then I will probably have Julie re-work the hydros

Hydro's will always plane worse because of the smaller diffuser ring.
