Props similar to hydro QIV
 
Last time I talked to hydromotive they weren’t making the QIV. What would be the closest new prop to that? Most look like a round ear. I’ve tested bravos and my single step 35 just likes the cleaver style. I’m still early in playing with props but just curious if anyone knows of a cleaver style 4 blade. For Bravo 1 reasons I don’t wanna go to 5 blades. Lol

I spoke to Todd at Hyromotive last week.

He's hoping to start production on QIV's in 30 days or so. :)


I'm in the same boat .. want more STERN lift but dont really want to go 5 blade. Waiting it out ;)

Yeah. They told me that last summer. Lol. I don’t have much faith at this point.

what pitch are you looking for ?

Ive come across some just not right for MY setup

Likely 29s.

Good luck finding Hydro props right now. Teague is liquidating old stock and odd sizes, try that. I been prop testing for 2 weeks, just tried Hydro QIV, good mid and top end, would not hold the boat on plane at lower speeds. Tried finding round ear 25-26's, no luck, no inventory. Having my Bravo 1's tips, flattened out to carry the bow more, we will see if that works.

I have a RH QIV 27p that I would trade for a round ear of a higher pitch. I'm running a labbed Bravo 1 30p that seems to work pretty good. I keep the Hydro as a back up prop.
