I'm working on it. It was shipped to mark last week but I can't get ahold of him at all. So I don't know when I will get the prop back

[Tom Edwards]

Mark is hunting until the 17th. Call him next week.

[kry29]

Thanks. I'm sure he will call me when he gets back.

Bravo 26 or 26.5 for all you guys wanting to run one. I would err on the 26 side to start with. Nothing else needed here.


All you need to do is text me Donny....you keep forgetting.

Lol. It was more for a buddy who said bravo was the best on all Boats. I tried 2 bravos and neither was Better than my 25 or 26 fury 3 blade. Was just kinda curious if anyone has had great results. My fury was faster by 2-4mph and better hole shot.

[xranger77]

I would say the top end should be true for sure. Hole shot...probably didn't have it set up right. I haven't seen a boat that doesn't come over faster with a 3 blade vs Bravo.

Mine just lays over...doesn't hardly nose up at all. It took me several months to get it figured out though. I can get a 28 Bravo to lay over real fast. Never timed it, but again...nose doesn't come up much at all, just lays and goes.

[fishin fever]

Nice. Not sure I can give up the speed though.

That's all I run is Bravo One's...in 26 and 30 pitch varieties. They are untouchable in regards to holeshot, acceleration, load carrying capacity and cruise fuel efficiency. They are also very easily tunable. Not the fastest prop out there but no more than 2-3 mph slower than the fastest prop out there...all the while doing everything else way better than the fastest prop out there. Run a labbed 30 for speed and am very happy with top end...can't believe how it comes out and accelerates for that pitch. Also run a 26 for fishing and it will make your neck sore coming out of the hole. They are just too good in so many ways...

Mine ships out tomorrow. Hope to try it after thanksgiving.

I have ran a bravos for over 10 years on every boat i have owned. But for some reason I disnt like it on my Phoenix. Maybe I will give it another try

[john721]

If your going to run one get the lab finished one by mercury racing it will be faster than the fury

run it as high as you can

[Bullet 20cc]

run it as high as you can

^^^This is where the Bravo can shine compared to other props...they love to be surfaced if you have the lower unit to get it up that high. Mine loves the sunlight...currently at 1.25" above on ptp. Less than half the prop is in the water at speed and it still could go a click or two higher. Can really get your money's worth out of them with a low water pick-up (coned) gearcase...

Got my prop from mark today. Looks great but he was right, the blades are thin. Its a bravo one with pvs holes added (2 sets) which i shouldnt really need for the sho. The barrel has been shortened to it looks like but still has some flare. There so many versions of the bravo I get them confused so it may be stock barrel but I know atleast one set of holes was added because it goes right over the letters on the prop. Anyway, I should be headed out Friday if everything goes right and run it all weekend. I will report when I get back

[Bullet 20cc]

Please do...I'm curious to hear your results and opinion on it.
