I finally broke down and ordered a new style Bravo XS to try as a fishing/loaded prop. I'm sure it will require some tweaking but the testing part is always fun!
The big barrel props are no problem to turn. With 2.5 liter motorsBe interesting to see how that 2.5XS pulls that big barrel from the bottom end...
I have tried over through hubs trophy style and cleaver style and the big barrel props work (all around performance) best even with 2.5 L power on the XB21, with the flair trim to the same length as the blade tips. I have tried worked bravos and worked hydromotives XOB and prefer the worked hydros over the bravos but the difference is minimal...Hi Jay,
The video of your short run looked good. It appeared your got on plan very easily, impressive. I am currently running a worked (very thin) 27 trophy that has great top end (88+) but a little sluggish out of the hole and little long legged.
Did you notice any differences out of the hole with this prop or have you used or tried other props that perform well with hole shot?
FYI, I am running a 225X on the same hull.
Thanks, Harvey
Try that image thing again. Just drag and drop. i would love to see that bad boy prop! Clips look great!! Gota love you can wear your cap forward at 80.Just got mine in a few minutes ago! Looks like an early trip before work is in order lol
I have ran a stock 25 trophy (sluggish holeshot and only 77 mph) I have a stock 26 TRO4 that has good holeshot and 81 on top. I have a stock Mazco 28 RE4 that has awesome holeshot but I hit the limiter to early around 80. My main prop is a stock 25 OT-4 that has been my best all round performer with good holeshot and 82.7 on top. I hit the limiter on all the props when running solo still loaded to fish. The TRO4 and OT-4 both run a lot stiffer than the Trophy and Mazco. All these numbers are run in about 1/2 mile stretches with full fishing loads.Hi Jay,
