I have a set........I also had a 342 Baja with 496 mags upgraded to HO's. It ran 68mph at 4800-4900 with 26 labbed Bravo Ones......FYI

Run the boat. You need to put 10-15 hours of seat time in so you can see and feel benefits. You dont have a baseline yet...

You will need cup. I know you dont want to hear it but spinning the props in makes the boat handle 30% better at 50MPH and picks up a mile or two at cruise and attacks wake better.

Have a set of 24P Bravo ones on there way to my house(with hub kits). probably will not get here before the weekend since its Thursday and all. But next week should get to try them out.

also will have my 26s touched up while testing the 24s. hopping it will get the rpms in the 4600-4800 range, and maybe 2-4 mph?

OK testing results for the 24p/


I am not a fan. rpms did go up, but speed was down at all rpms. I would rather cruse better and have a better top end then what this was. if you need a set of 24P they are for sale.

24P Bravo Ones
3100 - 30mph
3500 - 40mph
4000 - 50mph
4800 - 60mph thats it....

26p Bravo Ones.

3100 - 40mph
3500- 50mph
4000- 59mph
4400 - 63mph

Back to my original statement. If you are looking for TOP speed, get a pair of Mirage Plus props.

Is this GPS? If its not - dont bother till you have GPS.

Are you SURE (very sure) both sets are untouched and not labbed. ....if you didnt buy them new - you cant be sure. Your numbers arent completely indicative of back to back Bravo 24 vs 26 testing on a Mag platform. Seems like you shouldnt sell the 24's just yet. Brett might be able to get them to work with some cup and magic. Also, how much fuel is in it, do all your testing at an average (I like 1/2 tank) I wouldnt run that Mag too hard at 4400 - I cant remember what the revlimiter is 4950 (?)

*Last, you need room to really run it out - about 45 seconds to
1 minute at wide open throttle (or more). Your trim should be in the 5-6 range.

yes all number are GPS, I would not be posting if it was not real speeds.

and I am giving the boat enough time to stretch its legs. Not looing for strickly top end, just a good all around prop, cruse speed included, I do 95% of that 3000-3500 rpms stuff. ha.

If i trim either prop to 5-6 I am spraying water and not pushing it. seams like anyting over 3 is to much. I have not just let it spin them hard maybe thats the trick.

spint he 26s with alot of trim?

I'd still Lab Finish the 26's with added rake angle to respond better to trim.
We can gain 250 rpm and pick up some speed. There really isn't any down side to Labbing the 26's.

Brett

Over 3 is too much! I can run it higher than that with boxes.

you just confused me, over 3 is to much? but you said to trim it to 5-6..

did you mean over 3 is NOT to much?

Yes - you should easily be up to 4-5-6 before you see speed diminish. You meant at WOT right?
