I need schooled on this.what are the gains and performance differances in these.1.50 drive with either one of this props.It seems from the info i got that hydros are only going to pick up about 3mph.I'M SO CONFUSED.Help Prop Gods.

I don't know where to start.

Let's narrow things down a bit. What kind of boat do you have?
What type of water conditions do you boat in?
What do you want from the boat; speed, cruise, rough water capability, etc.?
What props do you have now? What's good, and bad about them?

Any of the props you listed are better, and worse than each other depending on the application. Each type of prop has advantages over another. It's a matter of choosing the right prop for the application. With the above information we can point you in a direction.

More information on your specific application and your specific goals will help to determine the correct propeller for your needs.

As a VERY general statement.................

Bravo 1 propellers will get on plane easier and have better mid range. Labbing can really affect the performance of this propeller, especially on top end. Great bang for the buck!

Hydromotives (comparing apples to apples 4bl) Can have better top speed on certain applications right out of the box. Rarely 3mph. Don't cruise as well as B1's. More stern lift than B1's.

Hering. great top end, stern lift, expensive!

That's just a tiny bit of prop personalities. However, in the right hands, these can all be manipulated.
