    I do have 1.62’s. My old style Bravo 1 28p (four 1” holes) is a really good all around prop and does really good on top end. Not sure if has been worked on, but I think it really has. I’m getting a few more mph than what I think I should with it. I can run 92 all the time loaded, but I hit 94 on the river once and had current and wind heading in the same direction, plus conditions were perfect. I just wanted to make go a little faster, without too much sacrifice.

    If your getting those speeds its def worked. I got my bravo worked a bunch of times and still couldn't touch my hydromotive.

    Might of just got lucky and the guy that worked the prop hit it bang on. Your getting faster then i was with a bravo on my 20XD/300xs

    At that rate I’ll probably just run it then. I’m in the 90’s with a 21xd, so I should thank my lucky stars. Maybe sometime when I get the chance to experiment with some different props, I’ll decide on my extra one. I’ve got a buddy that has a couple props that when we can are gonna test them out.

    I have a 30p Pro ET I just picked up. Haven’t had a chance to run it. Am currently running a 29p Bravo 1 xs. Running 2 guys, 20 gallons of fuel and fishing load ran 90 at 6,100rpm. 21xdc/2018 300xs SM 1.75. Won’t be able to run the Pro ET for a couple weeks.

    Out of the box the signature don't compare to a Pro ET, They need work. On my rig the signature was one of the slowest props i tried.

    I ran a sc performer 4 on my 20 225 pro xs and it was the fastest so far but didn’t like the way it handled the bc handles much better

    I like the bc as well. It's my best fishing prop.

Ski boat prop- you need a 4 blade for holeshot!!” You’ve fallen into the facebook rut.
    times are changing, that used to Be the case, there are some new 4 blades out there and it might just surprise you how many are under the prop covers in the pits at the drags this season.

    I do find the more weight I put in my boat, the 4 blades do start to take over on holeshot with some of them, especially my qIV o/t’s

    my performer 4 B.C. hates weight though on holeshot. Two people and a good limit, comes out the hole like a dump truck with a dead cylinder compared to a et or cut chopper same pitch and load lol.

    Signatures work well for me, and I never had one worked, but I did run my best speed with a 30p Pro ET

    I must say that my curiosity is peeked. I'm thinking about trying a 28 ET.

    Fatshaft if this water will ever go down were going to get several of us together on ft. Gibson and run a few I'll try to post somthing on here to so make plans to join us not certain what all props will be there but there will be several. I have a bravo on mine but not satisfied I think it should have more in it I'm wanting to try a 28bc performer on my ss if I can ever get my hands on one everytime I find one I dont have the cash

    Yeah, that sounds good. I'm gonna try to make it. I have a buddy here in tulsa ( Scott w/red and white 20' w/300 yammy on it ) that was telling me about the ft gibson get together. I have a 27 promax and a 26 pro et I'm playing with now. I have a B&B 26 trophy too that runs good, just slips a little too much on holeshot. Are you a member of Midwest bullet owners on FB?

    Yes on midwest bullet owners Scott's bravo pushed my ss 92mph last time he came down I know hes had some work done to it since then I've never ran a trophy all I hear is how bad they are to sling blades makes me nervous

    Yeah, the trophys had a bad rep about going deaf a long time ago. The newer ones aren't any more prone to it than any other prop. I have always had my prop b&b and I think that helps.

    Another prop to try if you can get your hands on one is a lab finish promax. I just got one and it's very different from the pro finish I had.
