Default Bravo 1 28p vs 30p

I have a 2004 Sunsation 32 Dominator with bone stock 496 HO'S. I put a very slight ding in one prop last week and will be sending it out for repair. While it is out for repair I thought I would purchase a spare set. Has any one tried 30's on this hull / motor combo? The 28's [Bravo 1] plain easily and accelerate hard but if I am going to spend the money, would I see any real benefit to a set of 30's [Bravo 1]

What is the max RPMs that you hit with the 28s?

Labbed 30's done with a slight rake adjustment will become the go to propellers for you.

Your engines are rev limited at 5150R's. Labbed 30's will run at 100-200 rpm less than the box stock 28's depending on the recipe used.
32 Sunsations like a little help with bow lifting. They can porpoise with the standard B1 or standard B1 Lab recipes when trim is induced. We use a specific bend in the tip and finely measured additional tip cupping to add transom leveraging ability to the props. These new props with the work completed sell at $999 per propeller.

Let me know or call me with additional questions.
