None of the other props even compare to these! The boat feels like it's 10' longer and 5k heavier. The ride is unbelievable! I was ready to sell it and go bigger to get a softer ride(which I did not want to do) until I tried the rev4. I'm not looking for the highest top end, in Lake Michigan it get quite rough, top speed doesnt do any good if its pounding you to death..I can outrun most when its rough because of the way it rides now. I wouldnt change a thing on it now!

THAT MUST BE A GREAT PROP I REALLY LIKED MY 32 THAT WAS ONE NICE BOAT SORRY I SOLD IT WHEN I WAS DONE WITH MINE PUT 540'S IN IT AND IT RAN 86 GPS WITH HYDRO'S (29'S)SPINNING IN THAT WAS THE BEST FOR ME.
GOOD LUCK BBLADES I HEAR IS GOOD!!!

I talked with throttle up and they said my prop slip was 13%. I told them i was using the go-fast website to calculate it, and they said you have to calculate a bravo 1 26p as a 25p. They said they are actually a pitch lower than stamped ??? they also said slip numbers on a deep v with a 4 blade should be 11-14%.

sounds good. ive almost got the fine tuning done, and ill really concentrate on props. I tried hydromotive Qiv's this weekend. Much better slip #'s but lost 500 rpms. Felt like they slipped to about 40mph too.

77 TO 80 DEPENDING ON LOAD AND CONDITIONS.
SORRY TO HERE ABOUT THE HUB.DID YOU TRY SPINNING THEM IN?

Stan,

Got a question for you and dock. im spinning my 26's at 5500 and still not getting what you too got for speed stock. Im confused how im spinning 150 rpms over the rev limiter on a stock 500, but still not as fast. what props were you running stock?

Stock Was 26 Bravo I Think Dock Had The Same (but He Can Tell You) Mine Were Stock Not Labbed What Year Is Your Boat? My And Dock's X Are The Same That Might Have Some Thing To Do With The Speed.
Make Sure That Your Tack Is Right Some Times They
Are Off .JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE SPINNING HIGHER RPM DON'T MEAN YOU ARE STILL MAKING POWER WITH THAT CAM IT MIGHT BE DONE AT 5200.
