I'm currently running a 30P bravo 1. seeing 82(GPS)@5200 WOT.
I also have a 28P bravo 1. I have reached 82(GPS)@5400 WOT and still had a little more.

I really don't want to spin the motor hard. I cruise mostly from place to place. Short burst of WOT occasionally.
Is it better to use the 30P for all around cruise and maybe loose a little top end due to weight (fuel,people,coolers, etc)
or to use the 28P for all around use to cover all situations.

Using the 28 will put less stress on the engine and drive.

if you wanna sell the 30 ill take it off your hands

Labbing The 30 may be a good option for you as it will allow the prop to spin up another 200-300 rpm and gain acceleration and a couple/few mph at WOT. You might lose a mph at cruise over the stock 30 but will gain the other benefits at top speed and still have better cruise than the 28.
