I'm using a 26 bravo 1. I want to try a hydromotive to get some stern lift. Should I stay with the 26 pitch. Are they equal pitch wise?

Drop down to a 25 Hydromotive unless you are right at the rev limiter.

The Hydro is about 1.5 inches greater when comparing it to a Bravo. Not sure if the Quad 4 comes in odd size pitches. May have to run a 24 Hydro. They Hydromotive in most applications will not get on plane like a Bravo. Nomally a few mph faster on the top end. The mid-range slip may be greater meaning more rpm at cruise, and more fuel burned. Only way to find out is to run it on your boat. Good luck

Hydromotives Q4's are available in 1" pitch increments from 19-35".

Hydros can be faster on top end with Fountains. Not every boat.

Try the 25 Q4.

Anyone have a 24 or 25 they want to let me try? XR drive

Sorry about that, you are right. Bravo 1's in 2 inch pitch differences. Thanks

do the non step Fountains like the Hyros???.......should your props be spinning in??

I like B1's better on non-stepped Fountains and I like to rotate them in.

Rotation can become a personal preference. I like the speed this rotation offers these hulls. There are down sides too. Docking can be tough with aggresive X dimentions.

right now I run a 21Mirage on my 89/29 twin stock sbc alpha set up.......Im putting in 360hp sbc's and a counter rotating drive.......Id like more bow lift.......I think Im down to three props Id like to try.......25pitch......Mirage, Rev 4 and Bravo......any other suggestions???.......Im thinking Rev4 for my everyday prop and maybe a set of labbed Mirages for Poker Run/top speed props

Shoot!!!.......dont mean to hi jack your thread.......have been wondering where the Hydros fit in lately.......sorry
