26 ol with HO prop
 

Anyone out there with a HO in their 26OL make a prop change and if so whatcha got goin on?

Thinkin about goin to a 24p B1

I have a 24p Bravo 1 on my 26 with an HO. I love it, it has great power out of the hole and mid range is much better than the 3 blade. Top speed is 64 ish, with a full load.

Let me know when you figure it out and I'll just copy what you do. :drink:

Hard to get better than a b1 on that hull......best of both worlds.

Has anyone tried a Rev-4? Better or worse than the Bravo?

Thats what I was thinking....did you run it right out of the box or has it had some lab work done?

What RPM's are you seeing with it at WOT?

This prop is stock. I can get 4900-5000 at WOT trimmed out. I also have a rev 4 23p that I might try this weekend. I have had great luck with the Rev on 275's. Never tried it on a 26. I will report back!

I am curious to hear the results of the Rev4, that is another prop I am considering

Curious if you had a chance to try that Rev4 this weekend?

A 23 Rev. was the standard prop on a 277 Islander for 07' & 08' from Baja on 496 HO's. The 277 Isl. is the same hull design as the 26ol but with a molded swim platform and a little different CG. I would definately try this prop on your boat and see if you like the results. The Revolution performance is likely in-between the Mirage Plus, and Bravo I designs. It is a smaller dia. than the Bravo I, but with more rake in the design. It likes to run a little deeper "X" dim. like the Mirage Plus, but the four blades help in the lower, and mid-range performance. Note: that you cannot get a Rev. Labbed from Mercury Marine though. I have also found that the larger dia. and flatter rake of the Bravo I running a little deeper on a single engine boat acts like a paracute when you chop the throttles, and the boat looses speed much quicker. The Bravo I top speed is hard to beat, but I have seen both the Mirage, and Bravo do it on certain boats. You just need to test them on your boat, and see what you like the best.

XT:cool:

Every 26 and 277 I have ordered in tha last 2-3 years has come standard with a 23p Mirage Plus. If you want a 4-blade it has to be noted on the order sheet.

I had a wedding Saturday and did not make it out this weekend.:mad: I am off to LOTO for Labor day and the 26 will be at home. I will have to report back later. Sorry, Brett.

Any chance yet to run that Rev4?

It is on the boat and weather permitting it will be run Sunday. Hope all ges well so I can report back on Monday. Im taking the Bravo 1 in case I do not like the Rev.

Great, I am looking forward to your results.

any luck?

I hate to keep you waitn man!!

Last Sunday was 63-65 here. It stayed on the trailer. The Rev is on the boat now. The only thing that can stop me this Sunday is if the boat sells. I have it on Ebay now.

LOL no problem man I understand

Was cool here last weekend too....the boat ran like a champ with that cool air flowin!

any luck this weekend.......or did ya sell her?

Inquiring minds want to know....

I was out of the office Friday and Saturday. I got to the dealership to get the boat early morning Sunday, and the rev 4was off the boat. Apparently someone with a 275 Baja had to have the prop, so it was SOLD. Sorry to let you guys down. On the plus side I have 30 hours on my 2008 26. We ran the Bravo 1 24p this weekend, cold water, half a tank of fuel, 4750rpms, 67mph, GPS. Boat ran nice!!!

That's pretty sweet. Stock 496/425 right?
CMI headers alone would probably yield enough extra ponies to see 70 or more.

Stock HO, 3 people on board, less than half a tank of fuel. The boat has all out boating junk in it, custom stereo, transom shower, Dual batteries, etc... I am happy with the performance of this boat. Now it just needs a new home so I can start on a new one!!

Can you send some pics and description of the boat? My buddy is looking for a 2008 26 Outlaw right now. Serious buyer. send to [email protected] thanks.

It's on ebay:

Mine is not on ebay anymore and has more options for less money than the one already posted.
