What did you test them on and what was better about them vs the other props you were using? Top speed, cruise, hole shot, MPG?

Usually vs a Bravo One. Gains were anywhere from 0-4mph, hole shot almost always improved. Midrange characteristics were comparable to a well hooked up Bravo One.The main difference was the amount of bowlift. It can take a 28 Pantera from a very flat riding 75mph to a loose (not squirrely, but loose) 80mph boat...with less trim. It's incredible. We are putting a set on our Cobra and I imagine ill find one on the Kryptonite as well. Brett and Brad hit the nail on the head once again!
We tried them on 28 Pantera, 27 Avanti, 27 Kryptonite, 22 Donzi(totally eliminated the porpoise), 30 Superboat, 27 Progression, 28 Velocity and some others im forgetting.
Matt lets try the ones off the Cobra. On paper it should be perfect.
