FYI,Houston Prop
 
Months ago I hit "something" and REALLY screwed my 26 Bravo 1.I mean it looked like someone tried to open it like a can of spam.Being too big for a paper weight,I decided to toss it!Then I thought,I'm not a prop professional(like Darin & Sean),MAYBE I should send it to HOUSTON PROP so they can get a good laugh.This box arrived last week with a "new" labbed 26 in it!! Imagine my surprise!!! Called Darin to tell him he sent me someone else's prop.Happily,I was informed it was my "old"26.Long story short,72.8gps,5500rpm,great mid-range,sticky water,85 deg,95 humidity(tipical New Orleans)28'PowerQuest,stockHP500efi.I'm happy!! Prop screwed?call 1-281-580-7767

Bob280Silencer 10-16-2003 11:31 AM

H2Xmark,Didn't pick up any speed.Thats where the boat runs BUT thats great for a prop I was going to throw away!I did pick up after HOUSTON PROP labbed it the first time.I'm just amazed they were able to get it back!!!BOB

bob how does the prop compare to my old brand-x prop
i'm running 85 on gps @ 5600 with 4 1/2 lbs of boost with a labbed 28 bravo 1 now.brand-x i ran 78 @ 5800 rpm's.

Bob280Silencer 10-20-2003 09:23 AM

Prowler,It's very interesting.My Houston prop leaves better and has a better top end.Both are 26?Houston prop 5500rpm,brand x 5200(give or take needle bounce)Both are very smooth,but obivious difference!Called brand x with serial # and found brand x had 300rpm decrease put in.SOOO,Brand x is "like" a 27.Now my 24 labbed (HOUSTON also)leaves like a rocket,my Houston 26 is my best over all,Brand x will pull 5500 with the new AFR heads,life is good!!!(Man,you gotta fast boat)BOB
