FFO: I'ld start with a 30" Bravo 1. With that amount of HP you'll just break the Hydro lose ... been there/ done that. At least make sure you try a Bravo 1 ... you'll see. I have, oops, had (just sold it today) a 280 with a whipplecharged 502 which gives about the same hp.

wilerty Thanks Also what was speed of your boat ?? I tried all different prop's with stock power only one that would work good was 24 hydro . Boat has nose cone. But will give it a try. "Bravo 1" Thanks again

FFO: Best I ever saw was 85mphgps ... perfect conditions. Mine was a non-labbed 30". The Whipple included the optional throttle bady and was supposed to produce(per Whipple) 640hp.

FFO: I run a 30 pitch bravo and my motor is 800 plus HP. It will run low to mid 90s. When i first got the boat it had a 415 hp 502 engine and I install a b&m 250 blower on it. I ran a 28 pitch hydro on it and the boat ran in the low 80s. I tested both hydromotive & bravos. The hydromotive was 2or3 mph faster but was hard to get on plane and would blow out on turns & rough water.

26thoroughbred id your hydro have a blow out ring on it? My 24 did not. In any type of waves it would blowout. Does the bravo blow out in rough water?? Thanks Guys !!!

26thoroughbred

No my hydro did not have a ring on it. I cant get the bravo to blow out. I had two hydromotive that i threw blades off the props. So i dont think much of hydromotive props. But if you got the prop i would start with it. maybe you will have better luck than i did.

FFO

26thoroughbred : I dont have prop . The guy that did work on motor said he would trade me for my prop . They said the blow out ring would help alot . I think it will loose some top end speed.. Maybe he will trade for bravo 1 !
