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.

I don't think we should go there!

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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.
