Yes, let's see the finished product...
Congrats on hitting the water Gary!
If that 32p is too big by 800+rpm, you probably can run the same props you did with the 600.

Man, does that sound familiar! Almost the same numbers but I hit 94 with the 32 B1. You should get more power as she loosens up some. Try a stock 28 B1 or a labbed 30 for better gas mileage.

Thanks Pat, photos soon !!! We tried a 30 B1 ( labbed ) to many rpm's, I'm thinking a 31 is gonna be the ticket.

Try stock Bravo's first so you have a baseline to work with. A labbed prop should be built boat specific, depending on how the attitude of the boat is with a stock prop. I ended up liking the stock prop due to less prop slip than the labbed ones I used.

I never tried to break the 94 I made the first year I had the boat so that is where I'm at I guess. The reason is cause I always had a fully loaded boat. Most boats I ran with couldn't handle rough water as well, so wasn't to worried about trying again.

I run a stock Bravo1 28 most of the time, get's me 90 or so. The acceleration will pull away from most boats, they give up before you run out or rpm! The day I hit 94 was a 32 but limited me to 5400rpm

Hey Gary,
Is your old 5 blade Max too small?
It sounds like a stock 30 B1 is one you should try.
Have you tried any Hydros yet?
