Well after a short test run yesterday I inspected the prop and found a crack on the trailing edge of the blade, so its time for a new one I'm currently running a brvo 1 which seems to work good but was just wondering how a cleaver would work. Has any one tryed running a cleaver on a sr24 before?

Bravo one will be the best all around prop. Hydromotive 4 may give you 2-3mph increase and a harder hit in the mid range but you will sacrifice on plane characteristics of the bravo combination. I have tried several different brands including herring and always come back to the bravo! Depending on your x dimension and which lower case you have you might want to consider a labbed prop but be careful some prop shops thin the blades to much and this causes two problems. 1 you risk another breaking issue and 2 with certain gearcases such as the imco they feed so much water to the prop that the blades can flex and you loose speed. Just my 2 cents

i did try a hydromotive it ran fast but was hard to get on plane. I have trouble getting on plane with anything bigger than a 32bravo, any brand, it liked the 34 hydromotive ecept it blows out real easy but once on plane it runs great. I got a 34 hydromotive 4blade cleaver coming tomorrow im a try over the weekend.
