I have a 2021 SDC 300r 1.75 gears. I have a 30 bravo that I use as my fishing prop, decent hole shot loaded for tournament, full fuel and live well filled. Top end on this prop when solo and light is 88 in the limiter. I have a 32 Bravo that I use when not tournament fishing, best Top end 92.1 in the limiter (Steve Bishop was driving my boat).

Mad EFI sent me one of his new props for the V8's to test on my SDC/300R. I'm hoping to get it by the weekend. I'm told it will perform as good or better then a max5. It's pretty much half the price of a max. So hopefully its a runner. I still don't have a max5 try, there backordered.
All i got to test right now is a 30 Performer ET 4, 31 performer 31 BC 4 and the 31 MadEFI
A friend of mine runs a PowerTech BRV5 on his 300R on a 21xd. He said he had to get Croxton to tweak it to make it run good. He said it's not as good as a max 5 but it's a fraction of the cost.
I think the Bravo 1 FS is going to be one of the best all around props. I'm running a max5 right now, but the Bravo 1 FS I have runs just as good, maybe a little better in warm water with a load (hole shot). That said, not apples for apples, I have a 20XDC right now (waiting on my new 21SDC). So I will needing info for my new set up also.
I tried a Pro Max and it did "ok" for me, but not as good as the Bravo, but like I said, not apples to apples, thats just my experience.
One thing that I think will hold true no matter what set up is, I tried a non lab Bravo and it wasn't very good, I tried the same Bravo prop in a lab finish and it was day and night difference. Lab finish was MUCH better.

Went and tested my Performer BC. So far it's the winner. Ran 92.4mph and had to let off as i was running out of river and was gonna get on the main lake (4 foot waves on main lake), I had half tank of gas, full livewell, no tackle on board. Prop holeshot great, Accelerated really hard. I'm REALLY happy with how the boat is running, I ran a tournament with it sunday and i drilled everyone on blast off. Even smoked tin boats out of the hole.
When i let off it was still climbing, Positive i would of got over 95. I also only have 5hr on my motor so it will gain a bit of speed once everything breaks in also.
My boats HEAVY, i got HDS16/Garmin 12 on a boat logix mount and a lowrance ghost on the bow, Also running twin poles.

I will for sure as soon as i get another one. I think this one got damaged in shipping, the box look beat to shit when i got it. Looked more like they dragged it behind the truck instead of in it. Cracked a blade right away.
I'll have a Bravo 31XS, bravo FS31-32-33 to test also shortly.
I have a 32 Bravo FS and 30 Bravo FS right now. Love the 30 for tournament fishing, the 32 is good solo…92 in the limiter.
