Default Props similar to hydro QIV

Last time I talked to hydromotive they weren’t making the QIV. What would be the closest new prop to that? Most look like a round ear. I’ve tested bravos and my single step 35 just likes the cleaver style. I’m still early in playing with props but just curious if anyone knows of a cleaver style 4 blade. For Bravo 1 reasons I don’t wanna go to 5 blades. Lol

I spoke to Todd at Hyromotive last week.

He's hoping to start production on QIV's in 30 days or so.


I'm in the same boat .. want more STERN lift but dont really want to go 5 blade. Waiting it out

Yeah. They told me that last summer. Lol. I don’t have much faith at this point.

Good luck finding Hydro props right now. Teague is liquidating old stock and odd sizes, try that. I been prop testing for 2 weeks, just tried Hydro QIV, good mid and top end, would not hold the boat on plane at lower speeds. Tried finding round ear 25-26's, no luck, no inventory. Having my Bravo 1's tips, flattened out to carry the bow more, we will see if that works.

I have a RH QIV 27p that I would trade for a round ear of a higher pitch. I'm running a labbed Bravo 1 30p that seems to work pretty good. I keep the Hydro as a back up prop.
