I run the Bravo 32s through 1.5 gears with 496HOs. Best I have seen is 91 on GPS at 5,000 RPM which calculates to 9.9% slip (although most of the time I am closer to 13%). These props where labbed by a local shop to Warlock. I had the props scanned by Propulsion Engineering outside Chicago and they recommended a stock prop over these as the lab work from blade to blade and prop to prop was not consistent and I had lost a fair amount of blade.

Re: 1st time out this season
Your not to far off if you have 1.36 ratio drives. At 100 MPH, 5100 RPM you are only at 12% slippage (which is around what I am seeing with the same hull). Best you can hope for is a couple more RPM.

Re: 1st time out this season
Hey Johnnyboatman, glad to hear it is running good. If you are running Bravo drives watch out 
I just put on two IMCO SC drives because one of the Bravo's was aboout to turn loose. Too much torque in blower motors. I also turned my motors up about a hundred more HP and am going to 5 blade props. I am going out this Saturday to test. I waill also be out on Memorial Day weekend. Someone else asked abut carrying the nose. We are going to the 5 blades and having them worked to get more nose lift. My boat doesn't carry the nose too well. I was also running over 20% slip with bravo 30 pitch four blades.
I was also on the rev limiters.
