Default WTB Bravo 1 25P props

Looking for a good deal on a set of Bravo 1, 4 blade, 25 Pitch props (left and right). New or like new condition.

I currently run 3 blade Mirage Plus 25P and im tired of the blowout and slip. Probably keep them for when we want speed only but the sacrifice of 5-7 top speed is no big deal for all the "good" in exchange.

Bravo 1's only come in even number pitch. So you are going to need 24's

****! Thats too much torque and not what I am looking for.... brrr maybe I need a 24 with cup like a major league catcher! Or a 26 but thats too much reduction in RPM.......

I have tried a 27 Hydromotive, but it had no top end at all and the engines couldnt turn them.

My 25 Mirage Plus 3 blades suck ASS! Twin 6.2's with 1.65 gears on my 28 Donzi 28 ZXO, and I have had them cupped to the max, but still blow out and dont create lift.

Bravo 1 26" pitch is really about 25. You can "rent" a set from one of the online prop vendors at a reasonable price. I have the 26" pitch with twin 6.2s (Bravo 1 - 1.65) in my 29' Fountain. They work great.

The 24" 4 blade Bravo's will spin almost the exact same rpm as the 25" Mirage Plus'.
You gain about 200rpms for every 1" reduction in pitch, but you lose about 200rpms for adding the 4th blade.
