    Skeeter/SHO running Bravo XS ????

    Question for the Skeeter/SHO guys running the Bravo XS...what pitch are you guys running, RPM’s and prop height?
    I know some of you will say the T1 is faster and I agree...I have/had 5 T1’s but the hole shot is insane on the Bravo XS and not much slower than the T1.

    I think I want to move up 1-2 pitches to a 27-28 pitch.

    So with my 26P Bravo XS it ran 75 MPH @ 6138 RPM’s 2 inches below pad today with temps in the low 80’s.

    Just looking for guys running the Bravo XS on the 250 SHO and get some feedback.

    Thanks

    A 27 is a cupped up 26 and you probably wont see much difference. A 28 will probably run you low on RPMs. Is your 26 stock?

    The numbers with the 26 are very good, and it would be hard to touch that prop. Try a 27 and you may need to raise the plate some to increase RPMs. Bravos will grip high

    I love the way the Bravo XS makes the boat jump out of the water and you can be running 50 MPH and punch it and it wil almost glue you to the seat. Best kept prop secret for SHO.

    May sell my other Bravo XS 25.5 pitch to try a 28...if it’s to much I can make it a 27 pitch. Thoughts?

    Curious, what are you running for vent holes open/plugged?

    4 vents are plugged off 100% and the 4 bottom vents are 100% open.

    Let me know how you like it. I don't have a spare for my new FX yet so this may be the route I go

    Are you running a hydro jackplate or a manual plate?
