If I ever get My new Bmax lower :( I will be able to give you a back to back test on the stock lower foot compared to the B Max crescent lower. I think now with the stock style lower foot I am having prop blow out probs at 100mph ????

I think prop blowout was taking out my uppers I lost three on flat water at wot. Is there a MPH threshold that the Bravo lower is no longer efficient and blows water past the prop?

100mph without a nose cone is difficult when you factor in the blow out. Actually anything over 90mph and your giving away speed with a stock bravo lower. Not to mention safety. :eek:

That explains alot. I don't think this will be an issue any further but others making modifications should know this.
Thanks

I have a thread in the prop section,nobody is saying much about speed with a stock bravo lower, its got to be something there at 100mph.they have such a blunk nose on them

I wonder if this water fitting is hurting me.is right after the step so its in areatied water pretty good,

Also iam still draging the speedo tube??
