guys, i have a 1997 253 with a 525sc, a hydromotive quad 4
did not work on my boat.rpms were there but the boat was
sluggish all the way up the rpm range.ran exactly the same as my bravo one 4 blade on the top,why run the same mph but take a lot longer to get there,tried 2 different sizes,took them off and sold them.just my .02.------joe

hirschy; their is no way you can pull a 27 pitch 4 blade! unless you have 550 hp or better! talk to tom at hydromotive, he made me a 25 pitch 4 blade! i turn it 5300 rpms with a 500hp efi motor.i have the same hull as you> BILL

thanks bill, i'll talk with tom soon, we came to the conclusion a 27 4 blade labbed would get me to 5150 rpm which is the ideal rpm for my 500hp, obviously i need some more info.My boat is with my mechanic to do some warranty work , looking at installing whipple sc says he'll give me a great deal. anyone install whipple? How much should i expect to pay including new carb and installed? hirschy

Gameover-running a stock 26" bravo 1 4 blade-
solid hub-also tried a Spinnelli ,too much vibration,
broke a blade on the spinnelli,porosity in the weld,
mirage plus does not like trim on my boat,tried 6 props
over 2 years,mercruiser bravo 1 works on my boat-----joe
