Spare Prop Advice 28 Bravo 1

[tap_tap_boom]

Hey guys, there is a guy selling a 28 Bravo 1 and wanted to get some advice. I've been rolling the dice without a spare prop and have a series of 3 day tournaments next year and want to be prepared for. I have an XB21 2+2 and running Nathan's old 25 Hydro. Would you recommend the 28 Bravo 1 and is the price fair? The guy said it was worked for his 21' Bullet. Thanks in advance.

28 Bravo 1. Less than a year old. Worked by Josh Edwards. Like new condition. $550 TYD. PM me if interested, and I will text pics.

That's a great prop. Josh Edwards is a good friend, I'm sure he would adjust it for your boat for a reasonable price. 550 may be a little high but it's a starting price.

Now, the 25 hydro.....been hunting one of those with no luck. Let me know when you're tired of it.

Not sure if this helps but I carry a 28 Bravo XS as a spare and occasionally run it as my 3-5 passenger prop for extreme loads and conditions.

IMO -- that's a little pricey for a spare prop. I carry a 26-27 Trophy for something to get me home in a pinch. Somewhat cheap and easy to find!!
I just sold a 25 and a 29 Bravo for somewhat less than that. I wish Al could make a way for us to view some of the recent sales instead of deleting them as soon as they sell. That would give a good indication of what the market can support.

totally agree with deletion of sold posts. I go to S&F to check prices.

So my Balanced and Blueprinted by Robbie 27 Trophy Plus is worth what? :)

However much someone is willing to give. And right now is not a good time to be selling.

The better question would be, what is everyone using for their spare prop and what would the recommend I purchase?

Thanks, Mike

I have a 28 Promax and a 30 Promax as well as a 27 Trophy... at this point i am probably going to put on the 30 promax and the 28 will be a spare... and sell the trophy.

Spare prop really needs to be defined i think.. if it is just to get you to the ramp... there will probably be tons of low cost options...

What do you want in a spare prop?

Good question Dan! Being that I fish multi day tournaments and potentially sling a blade in the early part of day 1 I would need a prop that I can run for the remainder of the tournament vs a fun fishing day to get back to the ramp if that makes sense. I just didn't want to drop $$ on a spare Hydro for example, but at the same time this 25 Hydro is the only prop I've run on this boat..

[Strokerdean]

If this is the only prop you have then you probably want to consider a decent replacement that will perform similar to what you have, not just a get me back to the ramp. I typically don't carry a spare prop on the lake I fish and play at but I do have a good back up prop in every pitch that I own for the just in case situation. They aren't the same brand but work good. Just my 2 cents worth.

[NOTGSXR]

I would say you need to expand and try other props... it looks like you're looking for another A prop.. Is tyhe 25 Hydro enough to begin with?

[Jwolff]

Mike, you have 1.62 gears, right? Jay talking a 28 for loaded is with 1.75’s. I love my worked by robbie 26 bravo xs with 1.62 gears. Pull the tube around 27 mph at 3k rpm or 80 plus when going fishing.

My 2 worked by robbie trophy pluses sold for around $350 each.

You want something decent for that worst case scenario of slinging a blade on day 1. I paid $400 for stock used bravo xs and robbie worked it for $200 or $250. Under $700.
You could drop the money on a good tubing prop like a 23 or 24 and then use that for tourney day backup since you will still outrun most boats and it will holeshot awesome.

I have a used 25 TXP 4 blade in my boat that I bought off craigslist a few weeks ago as a "get back to the launch" prop.

It's got some small dings & I doubt I'll ever run it unless I sling a blade but I'll make some long runs & didn't want to go without a spare.

Now, I'm looking for more props but at least I have a spare until I find a pro max, bravo, hydro, etc.
