ok we are running a26 bravo1 at 5100 at 69.8 need 200 more rpm wondering ifa 26 HYDROMOTIVE will do better does any body try them ????

Depends if your looking for more bow or stern lift. A bravo is designed to make bow lift, while the hydro is more aimed for stern lifting.. You might want look into a labbed 26, or maybe a mirage 3 blade.. I would stick with a bravo, but in a lab finish..

we try a 25mirage and was slower 67 lost midrange http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eueoPCbSC1M here it is doing 69.8 with the bravo 26

Hi!

Check out the Hydromotive Quad X-O/B SS. It is a round ear like Bravo One, but on some applications faster than Bravo One. Its also a true bowlifting prop.

Cheeers, Toffen

Lab the 26 B1 correctly and you will get the 200 rpm and the bow, or stern lift you need . The Q4 of the same pitch will lower your R's not raise them. It will raise the stern.

Brett. what do you think of the Q4x ? I just tried a set, best prop ive had on my boat, have you worked with them?
This prop gave my boat the bow lift it needed.

I don’t have any experience comparing the Hydro to the Bravo but can say the Hydro slips more than the Rev 4 on my application. I would like to try a Bravo 24p next. Would trade my Hydromotive QIV-X 23P if anyone’s interested?

Q4X is a direct copy of the B1 with different cupping and exhaust tube.

I like Hydros alot but, I'd do the B1 before the Q4X especially and most importantly if Labbing is in the equation.
From a stock aspect, the proof is in the testing. Each is a little different per boat.
I personally like to go with the original.

Brett I'm going to try a 1/2 spacer on this boat at the recommendation of a professional rigger.I let you know what happens.

i have a 24p bravo i may be interested in trading. is this prop a right hand drive. what condition is the prop in and is it labbed o not
