Some news:
I towed the boat up yesterday.
Today I messured the prop shaft height and it is about 1,77 ” below the V-bottom...
pretty high I think.. I only have a 0,5 ” spacer to put on and test with....
What your thoughts?

i think stock bravo would be easy and great solution, that would put your shaft 3.77" below and i quess you would be fine even with 3 blade props. Have heard that below 70mph there may not be any benefits with sportmaster and it is possible that it slows you down a bit.

looks like the cupping is reduced from tip of the blade, it also looks that diameter of the prop is cut down, hard to say. stock untouched bravo would be worth to try. My stock bravo 22" is hair over 15" diameter and stock 24" is hair under 15". Dont know what diameter of the 26" should be. Try measure the diameter.
