I tried a 27P hydromotive 4 blade and it was really horrible. If I hit any kind of wave that bounced to bow coming to a plane it would blow out and not catch again until I throttled back to idle. Once up it was 3 mph slower than my labbed 26P B1 and really loose in the rear, could barely trim up at all. It was a 4 blade but don't remember the model. Hydromotive has a new more hydrid (like B1) design in both 4 and 5 blade. I am about the same Hp as your Raylar for comparision. I get 75-76 with the 4 blade and stock Bravo drive (no box). I want to try the new Hydromotive 5 blade as they are claiming really low slip %. Anyone tried one out there on a 25OL? Anyway to sum up give the 27P hydro a chance but just be ready to head back to the dock quick for a change. Good Luck

Thank you for your input I've heard Bravos are good on the 25OL. Will at least try the Hydromotive out!

I´m still looking at making it up to the Stockholm Poker Run. I have a business meeting on the thursday before, and will have to get on the road straight after. If I go for it, I will bring a number of props for you to try. labbed 28", 29" and 30" Bravo, and two Maximus 26". the five blades aren´t gonna be your thing but you have to have experienced how they run!

Sounds great I hope you make it up here! Sorry for lagging on my answer I have been snowmobiling up north!

Motor looks great. When is it going in, and more importantly- when's the first splash?

You planning on bigger tabs, hydraulic steering, extension box, or shorty?
-Looks like small tabs in the pic and I can't see the steering.

Oops, I just got wood!:evilb:
