Hi Brett,
Thanks for the response....the 03' 280 silencer that I have runs too flat in my opinion and needs quite a bit of trim thus blowing a rooster tail and loosing grip with the water. If you work your magic by adding bow lift to the prop will that get the bow up out of the water without needing as much trim???? Thats how I interpret this.....I would like to send you a new Bravo 1 that I have to get labbed and some magic massaged into it.....whats the turnaround time????

Yes we can add the bow lift during the Labbing process. We have been doing this to Baja props for many years at different levels. We did it when I was at Merc Racing as early as 1996 but didn't advertise it. Now people in the industry refer to it as a Baja cup as if it was something new. We are now implementing it into many other applications as needed. It can be done differently depending on the needs. Too much can actually be a reverse in peformance.

We can definately add bow lift to the Bravo 1. Adding rake via tip cup works quite well. It's a matter of the correct amount in the correct location per the application.

Thanks again for your paitence!

Hello Brett. I had you lab a prop for me about a year ago for my 2000 29 fever 500efi. Wasn,t really what I needed. I have a stock 26p bravo 1. I am turning it 5300 rpm 75mph speedo. Will the 27 you have help in your opinion? I am looking for another 2 mph top end. I hit the rev limiter with 24p hydro. I also have a 25p labbed and turned to 26p. It has a slight bend on 1 of the 4 blades. Before it was bent I was able to get 77mph @5300 rpm. I would like to test the 27 that you have if you think it would work for my boat or any other suggestions that you have. Meanwhile I would like to send you the prop that is bent and have you do what you think is necessary to it. Thank you for your reply in advance!
