Just ran BBlades new 30 pitch 4 speeds on my Scarab Viper with minus 2 Imcos.
All I can say is INCREDIBLE prop. Did everything Brad told me it would do. Picked up 4mph over labbed Bravo ones. Reduced slip by 7%
Great bow lift on a fairly flat running boat. Actually felt to have lifted the entire boat to run more free

Broke a blade on 3 hour old bravo one. Maybe just a bad casting. I see your happy with the BBlades 4 speed. What weight and type of Hull you have.
Because I did try mirage plus 3 blade in my travels and didn't like it around docks, blow out forever to plane, but bow lift was nice and had a lot of slip. Lost only a mile and hour on speed.

I have a 31 flat deck Scarab V bottom. No pad, notch or boxes. Boat runs flat so uses lots of trim. Bravo ones work well at providing lift but high slip %. I find the 4 speeds are very responsive to trim with less slip. Trimmed in bow is planted. Trimming out bow lift is exceptional. I have two boats so have not used this one much. The 32 are to big so I’ll be asking to exchange the new 32s I have for 30s. Or will sell and buy 30s. Let me know if I can help.
