G Man 08-10-2011 09:17 PM

Bravo 1.5 and pleasure set up.

GTOFFSHORE 08-10-2011 11:12 PM

28 labbed b1 will be your best all around.

G Man 08-11-2011 05:37 AM

Thanks, Bravo 1 correct? 3 , 4 , or 5 blade?

GTOFFSHORE 08-15-2011 11:50 AM

Bravo 1 is only a 4 blade. A 5 is also great but u really don't have the power plus the price goes through the roof for no real gain.

G Man 10-09-2011 07:00 PM

OK, here are some prop updates.
 
Well the boat has a HP 500 EFI and standared merc 1.5drive. There was a 29 pitch 4 blade prop on it, No marking on it as far as manufacture. The boat planed good but would ventalate a bit and rev, mid range was OK, at 4200 RPM, the boat was 62 on GPS. I felt like there was much more throttle left and the boat was just cruising, and was very stable trimmed out.

I paid a fortune for a 28 labbed Merc Bravo 1, 4 blade. and tried it out today. I'm not sure I like it.

Boat planned about the same as the other prop, the mid range with this prop was monster, The rpms, jump up to 5200 real quick if i nail it and the boat was only going 50mph,,, if I ease into it and build slowly the baot was around 62 at 4600 but started to dance trimmed out which it would not do with the other prop, This prop defenetly has a fuller blade. Seems like I need more prop in this style. do htey make a 29 or 30?

Opinions and advice are greatly appreciated.

Get a straight edge and check the bottom of the boat. I've had several Warlocks and they all had severe hooks in the bottom.

G Man 10-09-2011 07:43 PM

I will but it didn't do it with the other prop????

G Man 10-09-2011 07:48 PM

Whats a hook in the bottom mean?

Basically an uneven area on the bottom of the boat that resembles a bump or a "hook" Sometimes they are there on purpose to limit speed of a hull. I don't believe that personally. Rocker yes a hook no. Not a huge deal on a step bottom boat but can cost you a few mph. Not acceptable in a high end boat but was the norm for production boats. You can have te bottom blue printed and can gain a few mph.

When my dances a shake of the wheel helps get out of it. Not sure if that helps or not on your boat. They are definitely a drivers boat which makes them fun IMO.

I have to keep counter steering the boat in order for it to drive smooth. but I'm in the driver seat left right left right right left the whole time I'm doing 75 to 85 is that normal?

tjred 08-27-2012 10:14 PM

has the bottom of the boat been checked?

SVL-WARLOCK 09-05-2012 07:27 PM

Yorky in CA is the only one who can do it right. My 29 with 30 pitch ran 88. He is the best by far. I know he is the one who did the prop on the A boat that had the Kilo record. My boat had a stock 500 hp EFI and ran 88 stock.
