When you trim up now, does the bow lift more?? Does the boat feel less stuck to the water??

And I agree that you need to find a stock Bravo prop.

Some new numbers now!
Bought a Bravo 24P propp yesterday.

Top speed 51,3 knots = 59 mph (had to make a turn right after..) so dont know if it could go up more. But it felt good and think it lifter the bow even more know because the boat rolled a little bit from side to side.

59 mph @ 4730 rpm.. (hard to se exact Rpm numbers because I was alone in the boat and had to keep the focus forward)

Thinking of buy a Revolution 4 21P propeller.

What do you guys think, is it too low pitch with the rev 4 21p according of the numbers I got with my 24p bravo?

My amateur's opinion is get the slip issue solved because pitch will only make RPM increase/decrease?
I could be totally WRONG???

Yes the slip numbers must be lower.
Dont know what causing the slip, if it still to high prop shaft height.. or if its the hull/prop selection that causing it

But it is like 10% lower now with the Bravo 24P

I have tested the Revolution 4 21P propeller know. And this is the numbers I saw:
55,5 mph @ 5270 rpm




My first question is, if my Bravo X upper with my Sportmaster lower was 1.36:1 after I turned the engine/prop around.
And now I have a Bravo XR lower from a 1.5:1 drive... Is my gear ratio still 1.36:1?

My second question, when I switched props yesterday I saw that I can twist the prop hub a little bit when its mounted in the prop.
Its not solid...

My prop hub looks like this. Can it cause the slip?

I can twist the prop hub a little bit how much?

But I have never had any "twist" with that type hub as it locks the prop solid.

Not that much, but it aint solid.
It is moving a little bit from side to side.

Hard to tell how much but as I said - not that much, but I am able to twist it a couple of millimeters... doesnt have the hub of the boat right now.

If that hub was spinning you would know. It would not hold anymore and you would see evidence of it spinning.

You still have a 1.36 ratio with the 1.5 XR lower. The regular bravo lower and the XR 1.5 lower have the same gear tooth counts.

The Bravo 24 numbers are not bad and much improved. It you still have the 1/2 spacer, I would install it and retest. 3.7" below is still on the high side.
