Currently running a 24 Hydromotive Q4 on my 97 27 fever, 502 mpi. Prop blows out really easy, what other props have you guys ran and had good luck with? Thanks

Most seem to prefer Bravo props on stepped hulls.

Bravo One 24p.

Thanks, called Bblades already. Any experience with a labbed B1? Thinking about going that route.

I bought a used Bravo 1 here. It was a 24p labbed by Throttle Up. With that, my boat ran 69 gps. Best ever. Unfortunately, I damaged it about 2 weeks ago. So, I'm putting my stock bravo 1 back on. It's best was 66 gps.


I'll send the labbed one off this winter to see if it can be repaired.

Those speeds are on the Ohio River

I ran 69 gps at Lake Havasu this spring with a Hydro 23 QIV at 5000rpm. I have cmi exhaust and some match porting done on mine and I had the timing advanced to 12 degrees for Denver elevation. Mine too seems to spin/blow out just as the boat is getting on plane. Greg at CEP said that the fountains really respond well to Mirage Plus 3 blade props for top speed, might want to try a 25 in the Mirage? that is what I was going to do next time I am at sea level.

Thanks guys, I'll probably try a B1

What kind of rpms did you see with the labbed prop? Not sure of the rev limiter on the stock 502mpi. Thanks

It's been a while since I ran it a WOT, but I believe it was about 5100 rpm.
