The new lowers came yesterday, so I am now lightly profiling the cases and the skegs. I'm going to cut some the skeg off because it is so long. I'm thinking about starting at removing 2". Any opinions on this? Also for those that have raised there drive height what did you see in regards to RPM increase or decrease with the same props. When spring comes I want to be able to start testing, so if I need to, I want to have a few sets of props on hand.
Here are the -2 Sportmasters.

The new sweptback bravo uppers arrived Friday, so everything is here to get this project rolling. I also picked up a pair of highly worked over Bravo 1 props to test. I have been running a set of labbed B1 25's from merc racing. I now also have a pair of B1 Labbed 30's de-pitched to 27 with the defuser rings cut off. There is a night and day difference between the Merc labbed props and the other set when it comes to blade thickness. Soon I will see how they work.

After testing the Bravos, if you feel you need more bow lift consider a 25" Rev 4. They create more lift than the Bravos, and have great grip. A pair of 25s should go 75mph easy. A set of 26" Bravos would be interesting also. Ken the Prop God offers trades if you purchase the props from him. Just have to pay shipping
