I want to say they were 4 blade bravos but when I tell you they are bad it's an understatement they were bad ass.

i was told that 5 blades dont do well on a non step tiger is that true

That is true. I did not like the feeling of the ride it gave. The prop worked well, but did not carry the bow very well. I had to input alot more positive trim to carry it. And as you know, the boat is all bow. I would however, reccomend Julie at Throttle up to fit you with the proper prop selection. Nothing but 1st class servise all the way

29" 4 blade Mercury racing props that had been labbed. I have them but need to be converted over to the XR hub for your application. Julie and Matt converted them originaly from XR to XZ for me. We picked up a SOLID 5mph with this application. It was the only set of props that made those engines come alive. What a difference

Playboy, I dont want to burst your bubble, but there is know way you will see those kinds of speeds with that HP in a non stepped hull without major hull mods. Laz and Albert did extensive testing and never saw above 82 mph in salt. I did have an ext covergirl Cabin, but like GL said, its only costing 2 mph to have it. Your going to need 900-1000 ponies to see that speed in real life


SORRY
