BBlades labbed my 26 Bravo on my AT and it did exactly what he told me it would do. I picked up 250 RPM's and about 2 MPH up top.

heres one for you, im already hitting the limiter, so i want to keep my rpm about the same, but gain more trim? or just more prop. i should pick up for sure either way?

You are stilling your current prop to 5250? If you are doing this you should be able to do up at least one pitch maybe 2 after labbing. When you go up a prop size and can still spin it in your engines optimial power range, you are going to gain. I am sure he will add cup to get your bow to carry heigher out of the water, makes triming for effective and effiecient! Not to be arguementative but what size wheel are you running? You said somewhere that you thought it was a 26, I have a hard time believing you can zing that to the limiter with 375 hp, if you can that is sick. With the 500 in my old boat I could spin a 26 lab to about 5100, a little bigger boat with 100 hp more????

Thanks for the compliment on my old ride.

I agree with MM. If you are hitting the rev limiter, then you should go up in pitch. If you are running a 24p then go to a 26 and have it labbed and cupped. You will gain speed and lift all while keeping the motor in the correct range and under the limiter. Talk with Brett and get his opinion. And have the info ready he will need. Boat weight, RPM's, speed, drive gear ratio...etc.

Andy- will be in your neck of the woods this weekend...ST. PATTY'S party! Will give you a call!

will do. brett ran threw some #'s with me. said im seeing over 20% slip with m current set up.
he said his computer says a 8+ mph gain. he said, "that wont happen, but 3-5 mph should be seen"
we'll see. even 2-3 would be well worth the money spent. we'll see
