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)

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?

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.

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.
