Very interesting thread!

Any updates on the 35' single step in the last couple of years? I am in the process of trying different props since I increased hp and added -2" Imcos. I will trying 32 Bravos the next time out to get rpms.
Any other props to try? Sounds like some don't like the Bravos because the Fountains already have good bow lift.

Reb,

What power are you running? Sounds like 28" labbed hydros might be worth a shot. I run 30" labbed Bravos...same boat, same set-up as yours.

I did have the 502s, but since they have become 540s. We dynoed last summer at 710hp @5800. I was just wondering if there are 5 blades that would have the top end as a labbed Bravo would have? I hate to go down the road of having everything labbed to make the call. Right now, I have been renting props from Bblades.

What is their program on trying props? What about Throttle up's? I know the guy I bought my boat from had BBlades do his...

Bblades is $20 for 15 days. You pay the shipping both ways. Not a bad deal when you are unsure of what prop is best. I haven't worked with Throtte Up.

Twin Step but here's my input. A couple weeks ago, I was in the red 02' 35 lightning just listed for sale.

It was reading just over 85+mph with 2 people, 2 full tanks, smooth water with more trim and tabs to go. small lake. this was on the speedo. sorry no GPS. it has 500's and bravos. not sure about props or ratio's.

will update my profile when i get time.
