26 Pitch Labbed Bravos = ? Pitch Mirages
I am running 26p Bravos labbed spinning 5300rpms, I know there is no direct way of doing this because they are two different animals but would it be a 27p or 29p. .Thanks

If I am understanding your question correctly then Bravo I props are actually 1-1.5 inches less in pitch, than is marked on the propeller itself. So a 26P Bravo I is the equivlent to a 27 Mirage Plus with a small increase in RPM.

Yes that's what I believe Julie. They were on the boat when I bought it and they work Great so dont get me wrong. But I just wanted to test a three blade set to see the mph difference.

Box Stock 26P Bravo 1 and 27P Mirage "Plus" should run with in 50 rpm of each other.
Make sure the 27 Mirage plus was Lab Finished by the same shop as your Bravo 1 to make the test accurate.
Depending on your set up, either could be faster on the top end. The Bravo 1 will most likely beat it everywhere else.

Okay, so if I'm running stock 26 Bravos to 4700 and 70 mph, what will labbing do for me? Stock 502's in a 31 Formula.

250 rpm more, i just got mine labed by brett and I'll be a 5450 +...ted brett has a test program, try 24 stock first to get the revs up then go from there. If I remeber right at 70 and trimmed out the boat needed some tab to stop the bow from falling.
