Default Why no speedmaster type props for bravo?

Title says it all. Why no speedmaster cleaver type props for bravo? Seems they are all a round ear type. I think i need more bow lift and dont the cleaver type props generate more bow lift?

Default Cleaver props

P-5 are as close to cleaver as you will get . They work very well on a cat They are big 151/2 " dia. Not to be confused with P5X

I have a set of maximus and they are 15 5/8. I would like a 4 blade that is like 17" dia so i can have a higher X like you would set up a speedmaster. Im surprised no one makes some that are larger than the mercury stuff. Maybe not needed but would like to try it. Seems all are geared tword #6 when it comes to various diameters and pitches. Like the maximus but fear i will tear the drive up.

The other thing is bravos have the diffuser for the exhaust on them and speedmasters dont. Alot of us dont need that. So what about a prop that does not have that and again like a speedmaster cleaver prop.

There are larger Bravo props made by Hydromotive.
We sell and have some of them for testing.
Call me and I can explain the specifics of these props and maybe help you with the issues you are experiencing.
