I'm looking to try a new set of props for my Top Gun with a straight bottom I know that Hydromotives give more bow lift and that Bravo 1's give more stern lift but which prop works the best or is there some other props that would be a good compromise???

So what props are you running and what were your best results and prop's in or out??

you got it backwards!!!

but hydromotive now also makes a bow lift prop... i back to backed both stock b1 and hydro... hydro was better by far, just make sure u get the extended ring on the hydro which is a free OPTION..comes standard on the bravo

First to make better judgement what year boat, what drive?, What power, what gear ratio?

Dreamer, what Hydro did you go with? What was the difference in performance?.......

GLH

Don't worry MHC I'm sure it's not stecz's first time feeling that way...


Tres I think it's;
- 1996 TG full cabin
- Bravo's
- 500 EFI's with whipple chargers
- 1.5 ratio
from what I read anyway.

Ohh forgot, the whipples are powder coated blue and the boat has flag graphics... but if that helps you for prop selection Tres you're even better than what they say!!!

went with a five blade for better cruise to the islands

Tricky919

Is that on your playboy? If so how much cruise did you pick up and top end did you lose if any........oh, and what pitch on the five.....

GLH your right on 620hp with Bravo 1s labbed 28p at 5600rpm 78mph with 30ds it will only spin about 4900rpm at 71-72 mph on gps thats why I was thinking a set of 29s?? labbed?? Hydromotives or Bravo's??
