I was just commenting on Sunday's Rain.
I have 65 hours of testing a pair Bravo 1 28p's.
But a few more hours would be good before the weather shuts us down.
This is a great thread on Props though, I thinking about labbing them.

motor and prop help on a pq 270
Need help with some prop and motor advice. I have a 93 powerquest 270 with a 420 merc in it. the motor I was told was just rebuilt and now has 71 hours on by the meter. also have been trying to prop the boat. does any one know what I should be turning this motor out to, also bought a hyromotive quad 4 23p for it not the x but the standard. The boat turn 4750 rpm at 52.8 mph. Why so slow? I know opening up the motor on the old quests is the way to go faster but just trying to dial in what I have first. any help at all would be great

Youve got the same prop I do Quad IV 23P which is a stern lifting prop (our conventional hulls need a bow lifting prop)...You need to try a Quad IV X (which the bow lifting prop) or a mirage or a Bravo--all are bow lifting and should get you more speed.

ran the bravo
well i got 55 flat at 4800r's out of a bravo 1 24p. Wondering if a 3 blade mirage 23p would be a better fit for the boat. think the hydro quad 4 x would be a better run?
