Hi Brett,
Got a break in the weather this afternoon and put the boat in Blue Mesa Res elevation 7480 msl ran the Revolution 4 19 pitch 5000 rpm 50mph and still had 1/4 throttle left over. Didn't have time to run the 22 pitch Bravo 1. But I don't think that is the right prop for 7500 msl. Is there any prop between these two?

Running the 22 B1 would have been a great idea.
Anyway we have the 21 Rev 4 and some Turbo/PP options as well.

I know I should have but weather was turning to crap and.....didn't feel like swapping props. Anyway it seems like I should try that 21 Rev 4. May be just right. Because the 22p Bravo 1 at 4880 msl would only spin up to 4750 rpm, so I got to believe it would be quite a bit lower lower rpm at 7480 msl. How many rpms would I gain by labbing the 22p Bravo 1 ? 200 or 300? Anyway I will run the 22p Bravo 1 this weekend (weather permitting) and report back. Thinking I should have Brad ship the 21p Rev tomorrow?

Thanks Brett! Weather is looking good for the weekend high 60s low70s WOOHOO!!! as you know thats warm for here. I'll get some numbers on the 22p Bravo 1 at 7480 msl. Im thinking the 21p Rev 4 with some labbing may get me close to 5000 at full throttle. I'll talk with you on Monday.

Hey Brett
Got the boat out on Blu Mesa this weekend 7480 msl ran the 22p Bravo 1. Got some surprising to me numbers. Let me tell you first my Gaffrig GPS started giving problems on Sunday (I think antenna battery)
But on Saturday before it started acting up I did some full throttle runs into the wind and with the wind. Into the wind 4600rpm 47mph and with the wind 4600rpm and 52mph. I did not think it would spin up that far.
Problem is it takes FOREVER to get on plane. So what do you guys think we should try next?
