1998 velocity 280, 502 mag. I have a 28 Bravo 1, it turns 4800, gps at 68mph with 4 people. What prop do ya'll recommend?
Thanks, Chris

What are you looking gain?

Topend....Acceleration....Cruise

If you dropped to a 26" Bravo it's worth about 3-400 RPM
and pick some accel.

The 28 is probably pretty sleepy isn't it.

I would like more top end,and acceleration.It mostly turns 4600rpms.What do other 280s with the same power run?Iam in baton rouge la. on fresh water.

I have a 2000 280 with a 502 turning 5000 @ 70 mph with my new labbed 26 pitch in brackish water.

The 26 bravo 1 should be right for that power.I had a 28 on a 280 hooked to 500 hp and it ran 80 at 5300 rpm.

The fastest prop on any velocity is a 4 blade hydromotive.
Call Mike at halls prop. He has spent days at lake x. And his hydros out run the bravo any day!

Exactly which Hydromotive 4 blade? Lab'd or not? We're Out West. What is the contact info for your prop guy?

I have been running a Labbed 28 Bravo One by Hull, and a Labbed Hydro 26.5 by Throttle Up on my 290 with 496, headers, and reprogram. The Bravo One is running 1-2 mph faster @ 5200, than the Hydro which is running @ 5100. The Hydro is still too thick, and needs more work. Much more bow lift with the Bravo. Have broken 75 on GPS (77+ on spedo) with the Bravo, not yet with the Hydro. I think the Hydro needs some Hull attention.
