    Bravo 1 XS and Trophy Plus

    Between the 2 props ,which one has the most flare on the barrel .Are they about the same a mount ?
    I have a Bravo 1 with full flare and a Bravo 1XS and some barrel cut .....never had a trophy .But looking at pics they look about the same amount .
    Thx

    Hmmm, my Trophy has zero flare and it's a small barrel. I wonder if mines an old model?

    Yes, flare one the bravo. I'd say it's about 1/4"

    Newer Bravo1 props have the same flare as a Tempest Plus.

    Maybe you should just tell us what you're trying to accomplish and on what kind of boat.

    The long barrel on the Trophy helps lift the stern too on heavier boats.

    Going to compare it to my Old school Bravo 1 with a full flare, The Bravo 1 XS has the flare cut off some .

    On my Stratos 201 Pro the tempest has a lot of bow lift compared to my Old school bravo 1 with flare . The Bravo 1 runs flatter .
    So i got a Bravo 1 XS to compare all three props .

    Thx every one .

    Most any four blade will give you more stern lift than a three blade.
