I broke down and bought a set of Konrads for my 1985 Cigarette mistress. I am in the process of installing them now. My motors put out between 650-675HP. I was spinning 25" mirage plus props before inward and they wound the motors to about 4900 RPM. I want to run the RPMs around 5300RPM. The Konrads are also 1.38" shorter and I purchased the ones with nose cones. I was thinking 4 blades. I also installed the drives to spin outward for docking purposes. Any suggestions on props? Experience with Konrads.

Anyone interested in some great parts for a TRS setup, freshwater low hours, here is a link.....no disapointments.

I have been working with Biggus and the drives. He was at a Poker Run on SENECA LAKE in June and that's when I decided to go Konrad

Post some pictures of the Konrads!!!

Oh I'll chime in on this!

Here is the O'Neill Offshore beaked resin bucket. Runs all day in the 90's. Bring 110 and a set of 34's and she'll do better. Would never happen without the Konrads!

And a little Pantera 24 with a snotty 540 in it. This little boat runs 80+ and feels like riding a razor blade down a sheet of ice Still a FUN boat to run and again, never would happen without the Konrad.

Hey Lofty, I assume your boat was a TRS setup?? Did you run same power before and after conversion? If so, was there any change?? Which lower?? I too have a TRS/540ci setup in a slightly heavier boat, but am still hessitant about the $$.

PS: I used to run a 24 Excalibur 468ci/480hp with a nose coned old style Bravo one, set at 2.5" higher than "Standard" Would almost hit your speed - bottom side of 80, maybe right there in perfect conditions - survived 500 hours of abuse, no bravo prob's.

And the popularity increases. People will catch on, this isn't a modified Bravo like others make. There's Only One!!

Kurt, Biggus is the guy you need to talk to.
He is overwhelmingly helpful as well as knowledgeable. BBB
