    29 is one bigger than 28. OH! you mean numbers produced for propeling your boat. LOL

    If you can get the Bravo worked for your rig... it is a beast out the hole... and through the mid range... it loses about 4 mph, but just get it tweaked and it will be a beast....

    but hole shot is the main concern for most i would think.

    you bravo guys and your holeshot and fishability....its a great prop....but there are a few others that will run by it like its anchored...from my point of view, i cant stand to get outran by anything...so no good fishing, great holeshot bravo for me thank you....

    I can't stand to get out ran either... but if you can't catch me out the hole... and i run within 2-4 mph top end on what you do, YOU STILL HAVE TO RUN ME DOWN, AND THEN PASS ME...

    maybe on a big lake over a couple of miles, but in a short distance you will lose everytime.

    How does the Sterling run with a full tank, and livewells and two aboard? Top End wise...
    I know they are quick as heck for their size, but are you running in the 84mph range?

    He has no need for a QUICK hole shot!
    He DOES NOT have to pick his way through 3'-8' waves.
    I could run a 28 on my Intimidator 2000 W/Merc 225 EFI if I wanted to have a SLOW hole shot, but fast top end and ran on RIPPLE water all the time.

    Yes the Sterlings are sexy and I believe there still is just a little left in the speed. The reason I say this is that the engine is on the rev limiter way to fast!
