Default Bravo 1 vs. Revolution 4

I have a pair of 23" Revolution 4s on a 31' Fountain T.E. Center Console....

Would like to try a pair of Bravo 1s.. What size Bravos would be most similar or a little more pitch. The 23 Rev 4s are a pretty good size turns about 5600 rpms full fuel and a few people. (2007 300 Optimaxs)

Who sells Bravos for the best price?

I've been told that Bravo/1's are a bit "underpitched", so I would think
that a pair of 24p Bravo/1's might give you a pretty good comparative.

I agree with the 24P B-1s.

Is Throttle-Up still doing a Bravo test program? They're in your neck of the woods, give 'em a call.

I wonder how those 23P Rev-4s would work on my bone stock boat?

EDIT: Oh yeah, thanks Mark. Are all the B-1s 15.25" dia? What about the Rev-4s?

Only the 32P, 34P and 36P are typically seen in the full 15.25 diameter. Occassionally I see a 30P but it is more rare.

A 24P Bravo I would be comp. to a 23P Rev 4.

Do you guys have any small shaft 24s on the demo rack?

And what does a Bravo 1 go for these days $$

Yes, we have a testing program available. New Bravo I props are $509.99 which includes the solid hub kit.

What are you looking for out of the Bravos? I have ran both the Bravo and Rev4 on my boat and the Rev4s provided much better bow lift and ran a little "looser".

Ditto! The Rev4's on the Stinger was much better than the Bravo.

Hey Brett,
Sent you an e-mail; when you have a chance, please comment.
Can you make me a 26.5-27p Rev 4 out of my ø14.5x28p Mach stern driver?
I still haven't found a faster 4 blade than the B1 you modified for me.
The M+ is faster, but the handling...
