Re: Ordered a prop from Kenny...
Ran the boat yesterday, and here are the prop results. (I'm still running fuel heavy, around 3/4 tank)
I lost some rpm and a little top speed like Kenny told me I would. But the midrange cruise really picked up. I'm seeing 48-49mph at 3500rpm, and it'll take a lot more trim without blowing out. 75mph at 5k rpm.
I'm keeping my Hydro for speed runs, but the Bravo is a lot nicer for everyday use. Holeshot is very nice, no blow out at all. On sharp turns, (something this boat LOVES to do!), no blow out like the Hydro.
