Most of the Fountains I see have Hydromotive props. Most people say the Fountains run better with Hydromotive props. Why has Fountain switched to using Bravo props on the new boats? Better performance or ?

Maybe it's 'cuz Hydro's blades crack...

Mercury/Brunswick is not going to run a competitors prop on there boats.

I wondered the same thing, there is a big difference between the blade configuration and the way they preform. but Reggie got mixed up with skater and these boats like the bravo's. We may never know but run what works best.

Beak Boater

I think that Reggie got some finacial assistance from Brunswick/Mercury, and one of the stipulations was nothing but Mercury Marine parts on his boats out the door.

Beak beater is correct.

GATORONE

I don't know if that is absolutley correct since my boat came with Hydromotive P5's. Some of the change had to do with fountain raising the x and 4 blade hydros blow out getting on plane . Also the fact that brunswick/mercury has loaned a lot of money to fountain
