Default 4 Blade I.o Prop On Outboard ?

Can I run a 4 blade Hydromotive bravo prop on a new 300 Opti ?? I would normally be goingt to run a 32 three blade . I think the lack of vent holes will not be a problem , what do the pros think ? The reason I ask is that I have a like new 30 pitch 4 blade in box .

Don't know much about OB but my father has run bass-boats since I was born and has been running 4 blade props for years. For him, hole shot is better, topend doesn't sufer much.

I run a Revolution plus on my 225, no problem, so long as you have the power to turn it.

I am presently running 4 blade 26" Bravo's on my Opti's and they work just fine with no issues, but they are only 225's... Hope this helps!

Thanks, Karl

Is the lack of vent holes an issue ?

Not an issue... The application is a 34 Fountain with Trips and a fairly high X demension... Was the chase boat for Rio Roses a couple of years ago and the props work just fine although it did come with 24's on it... I would think you have it covered and best of luck!

Thanks, Karl

Have BBLADES put vent holes in the props.. They nailed the prop setup on our 28 powerplay with twin 300's. Labbed 28" bravo 1 4 blades with vent holes
