Re-Prop

What are you guys running on the 250XS....with numbers...after tearing mine up..looking for replacement....gonna send the Hydromotive to Croxton... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif

running some performers
the hydromotives dont run the big numbers there about like a bravo
the bravos do a good job for fishing loads after worked by croxton
Kurt

Got a blade on my prop going the wrong direction http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

What pitch do I try..28 or 30 http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif

Sounds like a 32 ET 3 blade will get you would good top end numbers. Not sure if it is good for anything else.

What is Mark Croxtons website address....just got off of the phone with him..forgot to ask http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif

Hole shot is not very good with the 30p....32p would probably be worse? Mark Croxton is going to massage the hydromotive...a little TLC http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif

What are you guy's going to do when Yamaha quits making 2 strokes? http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/sweating.gif

I talked to Mark Croxton this morning....prop is going to him.....he is a super nice guy...never realized that a Bravo and a Hydromotive were basically the same prop..learn something everyday......I know that I can get bigger numbers..with the larger wheels..this quad 4 just carries a fishing load very good..he is going to try to help my holeshot some...Thanks http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/pimp2.gif

I've got a 30 4 blade performer, 93. A 30 pitch Bravo tweeked by Tim at Performance, about 88. A 28 with 1 1/4" ventilation holes only, about 86. Need to ty a 30 or 32 3 blade but I also need to lighten my flywheel. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/USA1.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/boardstuff2/beers.gif

This was my fishing prop.......carried a load two people and gear 88-90...lightly loaded 92-94...Mark Croxton now has it...I hope........sent it off Tuesday..he is going to look at the venthole thing..and maybe do something different for the holeshot... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif

Prop is on the way back today....can't wait to hook it up and try http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/glasses.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/praying.gif

Wayne, did the Hydro have a rpm pulsating issue before cresting over during the hole shot. I have a 28 and 30 q4x that I have been working with that have that issue.

Dean: I have the same "pulsating issue" with my Hydromotive as well.

I like the 30" 4 blade B/C Performer as my fishing prop it ran 97.4 @ 6050 RPM's with a very heavy fishing load and me solo this spring on my 250 XS with 1.62 Titus Sporty. But Kurt got the prop all tweaked for me when I got it and he spent so much time setting my boat up it may not be a fair comparison?

Are you talking about the motor revving....mine would stand the front end up..prop would break loose to about 4,000 rpm's...then catch...hopefully Mr. Croxton helped me on this http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/praying.gif

No more of "shuddering type feeling" I'm sure Mark will fix it up for you though http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
