although, I want to add that he advised me to buy a hydro because of their quality, so he was pretty shocked how bad it was..

I've never ran the QIV-X's to compare, so can't say for sure.

Based on the increased slip and less bow lift, I think you'd do well to try some 1" spacers. Another thing to try is to have your props labbed with more rake and cupping.

Hydrommotive 5 blade with cut barrel might do the trick

I have the same issues with my labbed B1 30P. Causes more chine walk and needs a lot more trim. I have an older Hydro QIV that picks the bow way up over the B1 but it doesn't bite as well getting on plane. The B1 is way better for cruising but the Hydro is way better for top end. I can break both props loose easily even after I hit 30mph. I don't know how the air tubes work, if my Hydro prop breaks loose at all below 35, I have to stop to get it to bite again. I am hoping to try a Cutting Edge 5 blade this summer, I'm looking for the same thing.

Thanks for the info, my 32's break loose when getting on plane but I can back off and they are fine once it comes over. If I carried the bow more I think that will more top end without all the weight. And hopefully without spacers, it's cheaper that way. Lol Just means it won't work nothing usually fixes a boat problem inexpensive.

For those who have commented and following. My prop guy says the big difference in the Hydro's and bow lift is much more rake than the Bravo's. I will post as we determine with results.

our set ups are similar as you know. only real difference is i'm 1.36 ratio . i'm running about the same 95mph with a set of hill propellers.

ido not feel any bow digging and if i get crazy with trim ( 8 or 9 on the indicators) my bow gets real light.

have you checked the bottom of the boat?

mine also spins the props getting on plane, actually i just give it more gas and kind of do a burn out till the bow starts to settle down.

I don't remember is you have shorties, I do have -2".
If I trim much over 6 I start to lose speed, I did have your situation with standard length, in fact it loved to go airborn. Sounds fun but not really! Doesn't do that at all now. Regardless of trim I don't even throw a rooster at all. I have not checked the bottom.

I do the same kick it up to push it over and back down a bit.
