I think it depends on who you ask. Ask someone with a yacht and it's a runabout. Ask someone in a Jon Boat and they'll probably give you the bird.

100%. I had a 27pitch prop I couldn`t get past 4500 because of the crazy cup. Usually ran 29`s to 6200.
You`re almost to 100MPH I know how that is tryuing to get to that third digit! lol I’m fairly confident I’m there in ideal conditions. Give me a slight chop and a tailwind and the speedo is going to run out of numbers. I’d rather Mother Nature help me from here and not my check book😊 Rob |

I have a 98mph boat! I've now performed several pulls in different water conditions and I always get stuck at 98. I'm not complaining but was assuming conditions would solve my quest, not so! No way around it, you pay for performance:ernaehrung004:

Are you spinning your props in or out?
I have a set of Hydromotive 4 blades labbed by BBlades to 27 1/2 or 29 1/2 if anyone is interested. These were 4 mph faster on the Velocity compared to Bravo 1 standard 30’s. Bravos were 88mph and Hydro 92mph WFO. From my experience the Hydro’s run better above 4,500 rpm with Bravo’s being much better from idle to a fast cruise speed at least on the pad bottom. |

You might try swapping your props to see if spinning in will get that third digit. iIRC spinning in will give more stern lift and loosen things up a little.
For daily use on the Velocity the Bravos win- much easier planing and low speed handling. |
