Looking at the pics it looks like one between each blade not the double hole type

Leave all of the plugs open w/o any plugs. You might benefit from 2 more vents. It might only vent to 3200-3400 rpms on holeshot.

Ok ill try that . For reference the 23 tempest+ with solid plugs is rolling over around 3900-4000. and the 24p with large plugs was about the same but took longer .

I ran the bravo 1 fs 22p today. I think its going to be my favorite prop so far. hole shot is better than the Tempest +23 not by a lot but better. 2 of us and some gear it rolls over at 3800 and at that, its moving faster as soon as it over because its biting so well and no slip. top speed was 57 at 5800 rpm wind behind us and 55 into the wind. it was a strong wind.
Cornering, mid-range and cruising was at the best this boat has ever been. I have much better control everywhere.
I'm as happy as I can be with it.
My only thing that I don't like is this boat chine walks at speeds approaching 57mph. This is with any prop I run . I've tried every thing I know as far as raising and lowering the motor and trim settings . moving weight around in the boat ect. but that's another thread I would assume.

Loose is fast.... Every fast boat chine walks. Driver input solves that. You just need to learn how to drive the boat to its potential. These props run high. Balance the boat port/starboard and this will make it easier to balance the boat on the pad. Watch some chine walk videos.
