    If I had his money, I'd just buy 2 of each...keep the one I liked best, and then give the other 3 away to my friends. IJS

    I say Bravo, but that is only because I have never ran a hydro..

    Re: bravo xs vs hydromotive (bayoubullet)

    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.

    Re: bravo xs vs hydromotive (ep72)

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

    Re: bravo xs vs hydromotive (bayoubullet)

    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.

    Ya'll be careful with that prop, you might get a ticket for "Racing" it runs so fast!

    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.
