I'm Currently running a set of Powertech OFS4's 21P 15.25 Diameter on my 34' ScarabIII. great hole shot for such a heavy boat running 330hp 454's top speed of 56 at 4600. recent Mods put me to 57 @ 5000. I'm thinking I can go up to 23's and get RPM's back to 4600 and pick up a little more top end.

Any thoughts? does anyone have a set of Bravo 1's set to 23 or do you think I could get away with 24's?

I'm not sure about powertech vs. bravo but I can tell you that Bravos in general are numbered big. So 24's are really not quite that large.

Thats what I heard. I read another post where a guy said a powertech 25P was equal to a 27P bravo 1. sent him an IM but never heard back. I may need to be looking for 26P Bravos instead of 24's. Not sure if that conversion is right or not. If anyone knows or has expeience I'd love to hear from you.

they are super common so try to borrow a set if you can.

On my boat I can spin 25" Mirage Plus to 5100-5200 and 26" Bravos only run 4800... so there is more to it than straight size. The bravos hold the water better on my boat. Easier to plane, faster cruising.

I have a set of 24" Bravos I am going to try next weekend, we'll see how they do relative to the rest.

Brav 1 props are aprox 1" smaller than stamped.

We have a test program if you wish to test any props.
