Fountain wanted Bravo 1 Labs.

Mercury and Fountain couldn't meet each others demands. Dennis And I wanted to make it happen. I'm not saying any more.

Re: Lab Finishing
 

I don't think we should go there!

Re: Lab Finishing
 

The bravos are not heat treated? What alloy are they made from ? What alloy are the hydros? What happened to mach propellers? Oh ya, they went in business with Reggie! :eek: :eek:

Re: Lab Finishing
 

What speed gains has anyone experienced going from Bravo's to Hydro's? Or vice versa

Re: Lab Finishing
 

I am going to try a set of 28 Hydros next week and I will post the differences in RPM verses speed.

Re: Lab Finishing
 

To run aprox. same rpm as a 28P labbed B1 what pitch Hydro would you use 26? or lab a 28hydro??

Re: Lab Finishing
 

Ram-Dom:

I think a 26 hydro (4 blade) would be comparible to a 28 Bravo-1. For some reason Mercury has pitch envy. When my 30 Bravo-1s were put on a pitch block they were almost exactly 28s

Re: Lab Finishing
 

two-air, did you get a chance to try out the hydros?? just wondering how you made out??

Re: Lab Finishing
 

Unfortunately yesterday I took the boat out of the water to have some drive work done..I should have it back in by early next week. I will for sure post when I get the results. Our boats are different but I think similar in a lot of ways! It will be interesting.
