I am considering a Bravo XS and would like to hear some reviews on 21/250's.
I say Bravo, but that is only because I have never ran a hydro..
I have ran both on my stroker. The hydro 28 "A cut" is very stiff and with 1.62's you may be better with a 26 or 27. Both great wheels. Holeshot goes to the Bravo1, The Hydro had 1.5mph better top end. They were pretty equal in all other areas at least on my particular rig.

That can be true with two of the same identical propellers.... Just say'in.

Bravo is hard to beat on bottom. But the hydro will out midrange and topend it IMO.

He's asking about the bravo xs which is different than the bravo one.
I have a 28 bravo xs to try but I think it'll be too small.
I love my 29 hydro x-o/b. Solo loaded to fish with full fuel I've seen 85.7 with more to go, but the wind wasn't cooporating. I feel it'll run 86.5-87...solo with full fuel and fishin load. It'll cruise at 85 at anytime.

That 28 Hydro ran real well on my boat. Holeshot was good, midrange was real good, and I run it up to right at 87. Was more there but that was from Lakeview to the curve...the rest of the lake had gotten a little rougher with boat wakes and my gonads weren't very big that day.![]()
