I haven't had mine out at anything over 50 MPH yet, but the 26P Bravo that I took her out with was great. I have both the 26P and another 28P to try once I get some time on her.

I've heard both sides of the story with regard to the 242... some say 3-blade only, others say 4-blade. Personally, I liked the way the boat handled with the 4-blade. Time will tell.

My boat has a blueprinted bottom with the hooks removed. I wonder if that will effect prop selection.

Might. Hard to say. The hook was only on the outer parts of the hull on our boats. Got to get the boat out of the water.
