Bravo 1, Hydromotive, or Revolution 4
 
Hey guys I have a 1992 24 Outlaw that I am dropping a gen 6 502 with 530-550hp into, has a bravo 1 drive. I have looked into these 3 props as from what I am reading and information I have gathered these would be the ones to choose from.

Information I have been told.
Bravo 1 - To work the best would need to be labbed finished, being labbed correctly would give a little more bow lift then out of the box, and will probably give me the best performance all around. Was told the only downfall of a labbed prop is i MAY lose a little mid range, he stressed MAY.

Hydromotive - A Quad 4 cut down to 14 3/4 diameter would boost all range performance, however doesn't give too much bow lift that the Outlaw's typically like. But with th horsepower numbers I may not need the prop to do that, as the motor has enough power to get the boat out of the water.

Revolution 4 - Good 4 blade for the outlaws out of the box because they are cut to give more bow lift then say the bravo 1 or hydromotive out of the box. Was told they perform very well as a non labbed finished option. So basically if I don't want to alter a prop, and just want an out of the box prop that works well this one is the ticket.

I am probably looking at a 24 or 25 pitch to work best with my application.

Has anyone ran these props, if so what were your experiences, and what was the set up they were on? Any other input would be great as well

The Hydro Q4 is a stern lifting prop and Bajas like bow lift. You could use a Q4X.

I had a 1993 24 OL with about 425hp. The fastest prop was a Mirage Plus. The best for everyday use was a Bravo 1.
I tried a REV4 and preferred the Bravo1.The Bravo1 gives about the most bow lift of any 4 blade.

With the HP you're talking, you will probably need a 26 Bravo 1.

Yea my other boat a 240 sport has around 420hp with a mirage plus 23p, and spin 4800-4900. I was thinking 24 or 25p spinning 5300-5400.
