4 blade bravos are for sure the right props for a bullet. I run 26's (looking for a labbed pair) and never expeirenced any of the problems your having. It gets pretty rough around here too. would love to see some pics of your bullet

I've owned many bullets 24 B1's are a good all around prop unless big power.

Default Spacers

I picked up the bullet after putting 2inch spacers on and it still blew out!!! I talked to another bullet owner at loto and he said his blew out all the up until he got 4blade 28's so idk what I'm going to do bc mine won't spin those I had a hard enough time spinning 24's.

Brett-
Maybe try the anit-cavitation plates on your Bravos? I had the same problem in my 35 Fountain when I went from standard Bravo lowers to -2s...and then AGAIN when I went to -3s and IMCO SCs. The anti-cav plates seemed to help a bit...but really, I ended up having to adjust my throttling technique. Now, when I leave the water, I BARELY pull back on the throttles...keeping the rpms high and REALLY "micro-managing" the sticks is what worked for me.

I've driven larger boats in some bigger water, and they were much more forgiving as far as throttle play. Perhaps its a function of getting used to a smaller hull?
