Motors running ok, still needs the timing locked out and jetted a little better but I don't think I'll get anymore out of it. 60 on the top end at 4400 with 24 bravo 1. Was hoping for 65 but will live with 60.


Maiden voiage to the Casino this week. Thankfully it was empty, still can't dock this thing. If you see a red checkmate out gab a gaff stick...

4400 is a little low, hope you try a better prop !

It's weird,, tried a mirage pluss 3 blade and had the same mph with a little higher rpm.

what pitch was you 3 blades?
uneducated guess from me would think a 21 should get you right a 4800-4900
and a 23 4600-4700
i might be wrong though...

It's a 23. I thought I had notes from testing but can't find that day. But I think it got to around 45-4600 but still 60nph

i would prefer 60 mph at 4800 than 60 at 4400...
i would think the engine is maybe overloaded at lets say 3000-3400 rpm and
becomes more thirsty than it should... but thats just my guess...

The reputation of the Bravos is they have more pitch than advertised and are stiff.

I would agree on doing what you need to get R’s up and load down.

Maybe try a 22” Bravo??

My plan was get the boat tuned to my likeing, and then send the prop out to get labbed. But I ran out of summer. It will all ha e to wait till next year.
