Sst prop recommendations

[jdurnal]

As above I've got a sst with a 28 bravo 8 holes open, and hydromotive 28 xob neither one come out of the hole when I load it with 2 men and livewells what would you guys recommend trying next. Boat is a sst with 250 sport xs 1.62 sportmaster, hydro jackplate 36v ultrex I know all the weight back there cant be helping but I know others are alot sharper at this prop stuff than me

what rpms does the motor flash to on hole shot ? Is it slipping or bogging ?

Prop stock or worked ?

how hi is the motor ?

Motor healthy ?

[jdurnal]

Both props are stock to my knowledge, I've tried jackplate all the way down up to 1 1/2 above not a huge difference prop slips alittle itll rev to 4500-5000 , doesnt bog and motor is strong and fairly new only have 45hrs on it now

I'm also having a little trouble propping mine as well. But I'm on 1:75-1 gears. Same boat with a 300R.

[bamacj]

My bravos like 1/2" to 3/4" above the pad. Sounds like too much venting, plug two pvs holes and try it. Sending it to Croxton and having it set up for your boat would help too.


Those 300r's like that hi dollar maxx 5 , might could try a 30 promax.

The 300R. And 30 Bravo combination. When the boat breaks over it slips so bad I've had to set back down and start over. It's got 8 PVS holes all plugged except 2 small hole plugs. I'm going to try a 31 hydromotive next.

[bamacj]

My Bravo will slip when the bow breaks over if I have the plate up around 1.5" above. If I lower the plate for hole shot it does much better. 8 pvs holes, two plugged. But I'm running a 300xs not R. Seldom have I seen a Bravo work well for a Bullet without having it worked. Mine is A 29xs worked by Croxton.

Call Croxton and buy a Razor from him, sell the others on here.

[tlt20xd]

If I can get one lined out there will be some for sale.

What's your thoughts on the 300r what numbers are you seeing

[tlt20xd]

I think I'll like the motor after I get the props right. It's really a strong low end motor. When the 30 bravo finally gets hooked up its running 87.4 loaded to fish with almost full fuel and a passenger. on the limiter it's got plenty more just have to get it propped right.

I'm going to try my big hydromotive Saturday at the lake and see how that does. And I've already talked with mark Croxton if that doesn't work.

i have a 19SST with Reynolds float plate 7in and 6in hydro. 1.62 sporty,and a Criss Bailey hydrofoil.Run 30 pitch promax lab finishon a 300xs with ram air cowl by Criss Dunn.no hole shot problem. Porpoising problem went away after the hydrofoil. The hydrofoil changed my boat for the better good holeshot, and no porpoising. Reynolds Racing float plate works wonders on take off and stopping also.

The 31hydro was not good. The prop slipped extremely bad as soon as the nose started to break over. The water was way to bad to try a speed run.
