So I have Bravo 1"s @ 30" that came with the boat.
Need about 200 more rpm to hit the sweet spot with the 500's.
Feels like too much stern lift spinning out.
Anyone try spinning in?
Maybe try Hydro's?

If you feel you're that close. Send them the Bblades and put a couple RPMs into them

You'll get the best top speed with Bravo 4 blade 30 pitch, also they're easier on the drive. This is assuming you have stock 500 efi's.

What Rpm were you running with 30's?
Also did you cut the diffuser rings?

I have been testing props myself and thinking about cutting rings also.
