I have a '99 2100 with a '99 225 EFI and I am planning on trying a 26P Bravo 1 with dual PVS holes. I am asking what would be a good starting points as far as how many of the holes to have plugged/ opened.

I ran mine with all open and wound up with two large plugs during the winter. 97 209/225 promax
On my 04 2200 / 250 EFI I had a 26 Bravo 1 repitched to a 27 and couldnt run it with all open. Spun too many RPM's on holeshot. I put 4 solids in and it did ok....well enough for me to fish but it obviously wasnt set up like it could have been. I sold the boat shortly after buying the Bravo 1 so I never got to dial it in. The new owner probably has it dialed in now, maybe he'll see this and comment.

Hey Scott, You enjoying the new boat?
I took all the plugs out. Was getting too much hesitation before she caught. As of right now, I spin it up to about 35-3800 RPM's getting on plane. Prior to taking all the plugs out, I was spinning it up to right at 3500 RPMs (no problem getting up on plane without using the tabs with all the plugs out either). Not sure what you got for a top speed, but I took it out in February with Mike Allen (Blue Steel) and was getting 76 MPH before hitting the speed limiter. Need a bigger prop. I am still hitting the speed limiter @ 73 MPH with two people, full tourny load, two full live wells, and 3/4 tank of gas during tournys if I don't watch it, but she handles like a dream!
Dwayne, glad you like the boat. I miss it. The one I have now isn't as nice as that one you got. But it's running good so I cant complain too much. Let me know if you want to get rid of that Bravo1.
