A small update in the search for the best props!
After testing a set of labbed 28p. - No gain! Around 3mph slower thru the hole register with a lot more slipping.
Will test a pair of std 28ps next time to see!

So, Its time to summerize this summers prop testing!
Been testing Bravo I 28p standrad, Bravo I 28p Lab and Bravo 26p Standard ( Rippems rec.)
I just need to say that Rippem was right. The boat is just so much better with 26p. Comes out of the whole so much faster and I actually have the same cruise speed at 3500rpm! I lost 1 mph on top due to hitting the rev limiter at 74mph but i get there fast! With the 28ps i took 2 minutes from 4500rpm to 5000rpm and 75mph.
The 26s has a good acceleration over the whole rpm register. I will only be using the 26p from now on..
