What is the best prop for a Top Gun
 
I'm looking to try a new set of props for my Top Gun with a straight bottom I know that Hydromotives give more bow lift and that Bravo 1's give more stern lift but which prop works the best or is there some other props that would be a good compromise???

So what props are you running and what were your best results and prop's in or out??

you got it backwards!!!

but hydromotive now also makes a bow lift prop... i back to backed both stock b1 and hydro... hydro was better by far, just make sure u get the extended ring on the hydro which is a free OPTION..comes standard on the bravo

First to make better judgement what year boat, what drive?, What power, what gear ratio?

Tres I think it's;
- 1996 TG full cabin
- Bravo's
- 500 EFI's with whipple chargers
- 1.5 ratio
from what I read anyway.

Ohh forgot, the whipples are powder coated blue and the boat has flag graphics... but if that helps you for prop selection Tres you're even better than what they say!!! :D:D
