Throttle Up props
 
Has anyone switched from B1's to Julies cnc props? I have a 38' sonic spinning stock 26"B1's 4600-4700 rpm's @ 67mph gps in flat water 3/4 tank gas. I am planning on labbing to pick up a couple hundred rpm's and hopefully a little speed.
Then I was wondering about Throttle Ups new props. Whats the best top end prop, 4, 5, or 6 blades and how do they compare to B1 performance? What do they cost?

Bblades is where you need to be looking.

Don't know too much about Throttle Up, but 2x on Bblades. Brett will be able to hook you up.

Julie At Throttle Up may have set up boats like yours...
... she is very knowledgeble, and likes to help out if she can.

Brett @ Bblades will be able to give you the best estimates on labbing your B1's. Call them both, so you can get a better idea of what is best for your set up.

I have a pair of their Bravo Style 6 Blade CNC 6 blades. They work great. I have found Matt and Julie very accomodating and eager to please. I'm sure you will be satisfyed if you go with them!

...not bashing b-blades, but....... someone i know with a 38 525 Thunder (very somilar to Sonic) was working with bblades to do a set, and the boat ran slower afterwards than it did prior.. now, i don't know the reasoning behind it, but i can say that my boat picked up 5 MPH over ANYONE else in the prop business, with a HUGE amount of mid-range accelleration ---- and 7 MPH on the "big" props that they built. both sets are awesome!!!

ps: if you have a 700+ hp gladiator, 600 hp 38 or something similar, i still have my "big" set, and am interested in selling them.

PS#2: the new #6 props for my Skater are also AWESOME!!!! ------- the "big" set for this boat will be done for the Sarasota Run.

Thanks, Matt & Julie ---------- you guys are 'THE BEST', bar none.... and your "World Speed Record" propellers have proven that (2 yrs. in a row now, right?).

All the best,

Joe

--- Oh, and your committment to your clients/customers (whom all seem to become your friends) is second-to-none!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly the opposite happened for me & several other people. Weird.

Me too. Throttle Up just never got it quite right.

I guess that's why they say competition is a good thing........ it gives everyone the ability to find what works for them! :ernaehrung004:
