    Yes... Depending on the HP and boat... The regular Bravo1 with the flared barrel can work great. Needs venting and some tip cup.

    With the proper hub, you can run any Mercury (or other) prop. I ran a Bravo on my E-tec for a while and now run a Croxton Razor 4XL, which also is a Mercury style prop (runs the Mercury Flo-Torq hub). No biggie. I have had much better performance with Croxton's prop than the Bravo.

    What pitch of prop are you running on your boat?

    I'm running a Razor 4XL 24 inch. This prop runs about 2 inches strong on pitch, basically equivalent to other 4 blades in 26 inch.
