I've had great results with Bravo 1 props on several boats. But don't trust the pitch numbers stamped on the props. My 32s performed like 30s. If you go by the number on the prop, my Fountain was seeing 19% slip at wot. I would call Brett or Brad at BBlades. After making many mods to my boat and testing a few props, they're labbing a set of 5 blade Maximus props for me. They're great guys who are extremely knowledgeable.

Always subtract 1" from the stamped pitch on Bravo props to calculate slip. They are stamped on the heavy side.

Considering the size of the boat and a non-stepped hull I would definitely try a Rev4. MUCH better bow lift than a Bravo.
