Wanting to get some advice for prop or drive help. Boat is a small cat, 23 ft, single step, not heavy, about 3000lbs, has a Mercury 7.4 300 hp with a little over 400 hours. It originally had a Bravo 3 as the original drive, I drove it with that drive a few times (family friend owned it at the time) and it seemed super stable, very controllable, and ran up to about 60 mph with ease. A few years before the boat came to me, the drive was switched for a Bravo 1 that is currently on it, with the current Bravo 22p 4 blade prop. It still drives well, but is more sensitive to drive trim, and will also want to hook right if coming off throttle quickly. Boat also tops out about 55. It does not necessarily drive bad, but seemed better with the Bravo 3. Any one care to share their experience and suggestions with similar hulls and drives / props?
Looks like I can not post pics without a few more post first.
