My mistress is spinning 26 Bravo 4 blades. I am making about 675Hp dyno sheets. I spin them to about 5100 rpm. I really want to spin them to 5400. I am going to have them labbed. I am seeing 77 on the GPS. Before the Konrads I was spinning 25 mirage plus 3 blades.

Konrad recommended a set of props to me. I was Skeptical as I have already tried Hydromotive P5-X, Bravo std., Bravo Labbed, with spacers, without spacers all of it. But I tried the set of Herings Konrad recommended with and with out spacers. It is like someone took my boat and brought me a new one. The 3500 rpm cruise is up 5.5 mph to 58.3- 58.8. The wfo is up from 82 -83 to the upper 80s and it was still climbing( ran out of room). That is with two people and full fuel on water much to flat for a Cigarette. I was totally suprised by the Herings. The boat no longer has a hop at 50-60 like all other props. They are BADASS, and also expensive. I recommend the Herings and I have all of the others sitting here on a shelf.

Will the Herings make a TRS drive quicker as well? And is there a difference in how they come out of the hole?

Brian I am running 25 Pitch Hydromotive P5X's at 5000 RPM
boat is running 67. I am putting the spacers back in as the boat doesn't run any better with out them. I also have a pair of 24 Hydromotive 4 blades i havn't run them since I put the new heads on but the boat was a couple miles an hour faster with them before. I would have trouble getting on plane with the 4 blades and no spacers in rough water. They might be to small now but i wil try.
You can try mine if you want. I don't know what motors you are going to have in this year but it will give you a base line.
